A cripple girl on a train was presented with a bunch of
roses by another girl on board. She held them to her
lips, and prest them to her bosom, and fell asleep.
Later her father came in from the smoker, and took his
little daughter in his arms. Waking up, she said: “Oh,
father--I’ve--been--in--heaven--and--I’ve--got--some--roses.”
Deeds of love make a heaven.
