In the morning early the sun will get up quick. The white lilies will
wake up and wash their faces in dew. The birdies will open their eyes.
They will say, “Peep, peep! Good-morning, Baby! Get up, up!” Then
Baby’s eyelids will open; she will smile and show her six white teeth.
All day long the sun will shine. The lilies will grow. The birds will
sing, and little Elizabeth will be sweet.
MRS. C. M. LIVINGSTON.

I wonder if any of the Pansies ever wanted to be
missionaries? I wonder if any of them ever said they
would like to be, but didn’t like to leave their home
and friends? Now let me say just a word: You can all
be missionaries this very day, and go no farther than
the inkstand to do your first work. Every reader of
THE PANSY who knows of anything interesting in church,
Sunday-school, missionary or temperance news, anywhere
“along the line,” will be helping us by sending brief
reports, and will feel that he or she has been doing
a bit of missionary work. Address all, for this
department, to R. M. Alden, Winter Park, Orange Co.,
Florida.
LAST year there were in Iowa fifty-five counties without a single
occupant for their jails, during the twelve months. It is in Iowa, you
know, that they have the prohibition law which “does not prohibit.” It
does seem to make a difference.

SINCE some towns in Georgia have succeeded in getting the prohibition
of the liquor traffic, a minister from one of them writes, “The results
are marvelous. The trade of the town has been more than doubled. I
do not know a single merchant who would not vote against the liquor
traffic purely on business grounds.”

A LABORER was recently fined for allowing his dog to drink beer, which
made the animal savage. The judge thought it was the man’s fault for
allowing his dog to drink. Why shouldn’t a dog have a right to drink
beer if it’s given him? How can appetite be controlled? This question
has been asked: “If that laborer was under obligation to keep his
dog from drinking beer and hurting people, ought we to permit men to
receive liquor, and injure themselves and their fellow-men?”
