Good for Texas.

The people Of Texas seem TO be in the
condition in respect to worldly goods for
which Agar fervently prayed. They have
neither poverty nor riches. The Texas
Inteiligcnccr says: 1--WE have not an
almshouse IN the State, nor do we need
one. We are all rich. We venture the
assertion that not man, woman or child
in all the State necessarily goes to bed
hungry this year. Come TO Texas. This
is Che place to live well and look well. "
To which the Galveston Nc,cs adds: 1--WE
suppose that there is no part of the world
in which the Savior's statement, The
poor ye have with you always is not
found strictly true, but it is difficult for
us to realize the fact There is not to-
day in all Texas a poor man or woman,
as povertyis understood elsewhere. There
are thousands who cannot buy silk dresses
nor broadcloth coats. There are tens of
thousands who have no gold watches nor
solitaire diamonds. There are but few
who can own fast horses, or indulge in
the more expensive luxuries that many
think indispensable. But there are none
who need want for necessary food, cloth
ing and shelter. Any man who is able
to work two hours in the day can have
all these, and for those whom sickness or
infrmity render helpless, the neighisor-
hood has always an abundance. If we
have but few rich men, there are no poor
ones. If we have but little luxury, we
have every necessity that man necds.'-l

Always speak the truth.
Make few promises. Live up to your

4 GERMAN, who had not paid much
attention to learning English, had a
horse stolen from his barn the other
night, whereupon he advertised as fol-

KINDNESS AND LOVE.

Kind hearts are the gardens,
Kind thoughts are the roots,
Kind words are the blossoms,
Kind deeds are the fruits;
Love is the sweet sunshine
That warns into life,
For only in darkness
Grow hatred and strife.

The personal habits of authors in COM
position offer some curious facts. Thus
Gounod, the composer, says that he has
composed most of his operas after mid
night, and that he has hardly ever writ
ten line of music in the day time. Al
exander Dumar, likewise, had the same
dissemination TO write in the day time.
He generally began to write after five
o'clock in the afternoon with the blinds
of window lowered, and large lamp
burning in the room.

The spring styles cf costumes indicate
n return to a palmer mode of making a
dress than those elaborate patterns which
have been the puzzle of dress makers and
the general atiVpeing Of the feminine
mind during the few past seasons. But
the plainness Of the dress is atoncd for by
m exceeding richness Of
TANNING.
These elaborote trimmings consist Of
embroidery, braiding, wide fringe, and,
above all, tln new yak lace, a woollen
guipure. This latter lace is to be had in
all the new spring shades, and is admira-
bly, adapted for trimming promenade
suits. 1t is also used upon rich silks
made mp for reception or dinner toilets.
Two shades Of the same color are al
most always used in the making up of
suits, and nothing could be more attrac-
tive or in better taste than these cos
TUNES.
Particularly neat and elegant are the
cameo browns, or Alexis tints, as they
are now called. A light and dark shade
of this color united in q suit Of Irish
poplin, silk or mohair, is charming for
the promenade.
Two shades of green, of blue, Of lilac,
and especially of silver gray, are also
very much admired.
Fichus are worn over the street polo
naise. For wraps the cashmere mantle,
cosisting of double capes without sleeves,
is the most fashionable. These are usu-
ally trimmed with embroidery in braid.
and either fringe or guipure lace.
DOLLY vARpENs.
Dolly Varders are slowly advancing
in public favor, and We may expect to
see them soon upon the public street.
Those intended for this purpose are gen
orally of black grounds gayly brocaded
with flowers. The most beautiful Dolly
Vardens, however, are the French pat
terms, which come in pale grounds, with
garlands of the most delicately-tinted
flowers.
As the ladies seem to take to those
quaint and snowy costumes as naturally
as ducks take to water, it may be accepted
as a proof that women do not always /
dress to please the other sex, but rather
to outvie each other in splendor of toilet,
for the gentlemen have almost unani-
mously condemned the Dolly Vardensl
But to pass from this coquettish polo
naisc to the Dolly Warden hat!
There is a spectacle to make you open
your eyes my countrymenl
Of course you will execrate it, de-
nounce it, but that will make no differ
ence, for the Dolly Warden ,rW be worn,

--Ted to a sweet girlish face. Its
broad brim, caught up at the side or at
the back; its clusters of great roses or
nodding plumes, all have piquant air
which cannot fail to lend charm to its
wearer.
1t is now decidedly en- regle that if a
hat be not black, its color, or the other
color of its trimmings, must correspond
with the costume.
A black hat, either Of lace or light
straw, is perhaps more serviceable than
any other, for by the simple change of a
ribbon or flower it may be made to CORES
pond with any toilet.
Some silk hats are made to match the
costume, or made of black silk and Dor
dcred with the principal color in the
dress.

SUMMER GOODS.
aterial for summer dr.

The material for summer dresses is as
airy and beautiful as one could wish
Perhaps the prettiest Of these is the gren-
adine gaze which come in pale tints with
satin stripes and scattered over these are
tiny clusters Of flowers, and the beauti-
full material is the mousseline de sole, q
thin muslin which has a soft lustre like
silk. In summer Folonaise, We have the
amure Grape, which is very elegant, trim
med with deep fringe headed with lace.
The oyer-dress and waist are now cut
generally in one, the PrinceSse being the
favorite shape. Pretty garments of this
style are made Of light shades of batiste,
Chinese grass cloth, and trimmed with
white imitation guipuro, which will
wash. These are worn either with black
silk skirts or over colored skirts Of lawn.
White dresses will be as popular as
lever; nothing can be prettier or fresher
fw a summer toilet than a white dress.
Many silk dresses have oyerskirts and
dounces of crepe dc chine-those being
trimmed with yak lace or deep fringe.
The japanese silks are much in vogue
at this season for spring suits, and come
AS low as seventy cents per yard, rising
in price to 81 so. .Some Of the lighter
shades in rose color, blue, nuaye, are
charming for evening wear.
