Virtue's sigh, and Sorrow's moan! Yes, it was he, and would she accept a little Christmas present? Johnny Blossom held out to her the fancy paper basket filled with peppermint drops.

He was going out to distribute his presents today. It was so pleasant to take them himself to the different persons. A stretch of good going gave them time for a little reflection.
