GOOD INTENTIONS.

The wonderful things we have planned,
Love,
The beautiful things we have done,
The fields we have titled, the gifts we
have willed, H..
In the light of another years sun,
When we think of it all we are baiiled,
There's 80 much that never comes
true,
Because, Love, instead of our doing,
We're always just meaning to do.
The friends we are wanting to help,
Love, ...
They struggle alone and forlorn,
BY trial and suffering vanquished,
Perchance by temptation o'erborne:
But the lift, and the touch, and the
greeting,
That we'll might have aided them
through
The perilous straight of ill-fOrtune,
They miss ;--we're but meaning to do.
We dream of fountain of knowledge,
We loiter along on its brink,
And toy with the crystalline waters,
Forever just meaning to drink.
Night falls and our tasks are untinish ed
Too late our lost chances we rue,
Dear Love, while our comrades were
doing
We only were meaning to do.

Cotton stun's Take the Lead.

Dressmakers are commenting upon
the number of cotton frOcks that are
ordered this summer. Never before,
they say, have other and more ele-
giant materials been so thrust aside
and King Cotton's sway been so gem
eral, or the designs for cotton frocks
so elaborate.
Upon the dressiest of summer. time
occasions the cotton frock appears.
| cannot speak for it as the wash
able frOck, for quite often it is made
up without regard to the simplicity
that is necessary to bear contact
with the most ordinary method of
cleaning. Often when the cotton
frOck needs cleaning it goes-just
like silk gown-into the profession
al cleaners hands.
White dresses, / may truthfully
assert, have been more generously
worn. Very pretty and simple morn
ing dresses for midsummer are made
of fine white French cambria, the
skirt with deepshaped tlounce, and
the bodice dainty little affair cut
surplice or with yoke trimmed
with tucks and fine embroidery.
These are easily laundered and uni
versally becoming.
The afternoon and evening white
dresses, however, are as extremely
elaborate as the white morning
frocks are simple.

Tea color is the latest thing in

Enameled link cuff buttons set
with the sem precious stones are
among the newest.
Everything in the shape of a
Jacket shows fancy touches. Black

Feather belts of all sorts are sup
planting the jeweled girdles used so
much with winter costumes, and
ribbon belts with fancy slides and
buckets are liked best for shirt

Sashes lavishly bedecked with
spangles have the true Partisan
touch and are made for evening
wear of all shades of ribbon and
white and black.
A new pin is a violet clasp, with
dainty arms of tiligree silver, which
open by operating spring at the
back. The silver or gilt arms are
wide, and open for the stems of
these delicate flowers, clasping
them closely, but not so much as to
crush the stems. Lovers of these
sweet flowers are able to wear them
at least twice as long as when fast
ened by the harsh, cutting pin,
which hastens their dropping. The

Awaits to be Claimed by His Unknown
Heirs.
EDITOR HERALD:- During the
late war a queer character by the
name of Amos McQuiston came to
Texas and engaged in the occupa
ton Of building chimneys. From
his habits of tramping long dis
tances he was called The walking
chimney-builder." Having ac-
cumulated some money he pur-
chased small farm and ranch and
engaged in raising fine stock.
He was frugal and prosperous,
lived PERMITS life and was never
known to speak about his relatives
He kept his own counsels. His
misery habits attracted the atten-
ton OF thugs, and last April, Amos
McQuiston was found dead at his
hOme-robbed and murdered. His
property awaits claim of his un-
known heirs and is valued at Sl0,-
10000.
Possibly his relatives live in your
section.
The old settlers say that Robert
w. Renfroe and Lucius w. Gates,
were often seen with him just after
the war and claimed to be his
cOusins-though they disappeared
many years ago. If the Renfroe or
Gates families can be found they
might by able to establish their
claim to the McQulston property.
This may interest your readers
and we will give full information on
request. Sincerely yours,

MERE SPARKS.

There is no good reason why a
Christian man should be unduly
solicitOus about what is likely to
happen to him in the future, for the

in casting himself without reserve
upon the forgivlng mercy of God.

A fashionable silk petticoat now

Dear little heart,
Miss Helen Gould.

Miss Helen Gould, of New York
is indeed a remarkable young lady.
So far Miss Gould has shown no de-
sire for society. She is only known
by sight even in the exclusive cir
cles of New York. She has neither
q box at the opera house nor villa
at Newport, nor does she ever accept
invitations to the Pdtriarchs' or any
of the ultra fashionable balls of the
New York season. She is said to be
a sweet looking woman of delicate
frame, with tiny hands and feet and
eXquisitely clear cut profile, dark
bair, gray eyes, with black lashes
and brOws and dazzling and per-
fectly natural complexion. Her ia
vorite occupation IS study, and her
favorite hobby alternating the lot of
the poor. Miss Gould is a devout
Presbyterian, but she knows no
creed in the distribution of her be-
nevOlence. She says that her great
est happiness is to make people hap
py, ana all her chart les are made
without any publicity. She sup
ports two beds III one of the hOspit
ais. and delights in filling her coun-
try house with pauper cripples. Oc-
easionally she receives few friends
in her own circle of life, but neither
wines, spirits nor cordials are served
at her table. She was the favorite
of her father, and to this day his
memory is almost religion with
her. Perhaps it was the teaching
which he could not help giving her
in regard to money matters which
induced Miss Gould to study law.
She is now most learned and capa
bic lawyer, and is thoroughly able
to manage her immense estate and
to act as her own agent aud broker
in all her affairs.
