A PRETTY CoscE1r- yesterday saw,
in the parlor of a friend, Il very beautiful
conceit. It is, Of course, the fancy of a
lady, and consists Of the burr Of a pine tree
placed in a wine glass half full Of water,
and from between the different layers OF
the burr are shooting forth green blades
bright, beautiful, refreshing. For little
thing, we have seen nothing that so pleas
ed us by its beauty and novelty And
the secret is this: the burr was found dried
and open; the different circles were
sprinkled with grass seed, and it was
placed IN a wine glass, with water in, as
above. In a few days the moisture and
nourishment gave the burr life and health !;
the different circles closed and buried with
in themselves the grass seed, and few
days more gave to the seed also life, spront
and growth and now a pyramid of living
green, beautifully relieved by the sombre
hue of the burr, is the result-as pretty
and novel a parlor ornament as we have
for a long while seen. We do not know
whether the idea was original with the Ia
dy, but we do know that its success is
beautiful.-I1oy Times.

LET PROSPERITY PRosPER-We e copy the
following from the Newberry Kissing
Sun:
''It is.a very strange idea, that when
country IS prospering, when the citizens
are houlishing, that men are not satisfied
to let we'll enough alone. We, the South
ern people, are prospering, negroes are
high, cotton is high, and the business of
the country, in all its branches, is flourish
ing; when snch a state of things prevail,
the South has always prospered. Onr in
terests have invariably declined when ne-
groes are low, for when cotton is low, land
is low, and everything becomes depressed.
1t is new discovery, says an able writer,
that low prices and cheap labor are the
harbingers of prosperity thus however,
reason the advocates of the slave trade, to
wit, that by re-opening it, you cheaper Ia
Dor and the price of every thing, and thus
bring about prosperity. Like the old wo-
man with the goose that laid the golden
egg, there are men who are dissatisfied
with prosperity, who are dissatisfied with
the Save institution as it is, with the
number on hand, and are such stupid ami
mails that they would introduce myriads
more, destroy the proftableness of the sys-
tenn, and thus kill the goose that lays the
golden egg

4 Hard joke.

a notorious practical joker yclept
ssStrat back Dick" Of Mobile, perpetratcd
the following severe joke, upon an unsoph-
isticated countryman, during the prevail
ence of yellow fever in that city last Au-
tunn:
Dick was at the wharf one day lastweek
when one of the up-river boats arrived,
looking, doubtless, for some unwary indl-
vidual upon whom TO exercise his talent.
He watched closely the countenance of
each passenger as he stepped from the
plank upon the wharf, and at length fas-
tened his gaze upon an individual who,
from his appearance and manners, was
considerably nearer Mobile than he had
over been before. He was evidently i'll
at ease, and had probably heard the reports
Which were rife in the country, relative to
the hundreds who were dying in Mobile
every hour from yellow fever. The man
started off towards Dauphin street, carpet
sack in hand but he had not proceeded
far when heavy hand was laid upon his
shoulder, and he suddenly stopped. Up
on turning round he met the cold, serious
countenance OF Dick, and it seemed to
send a thrill Of terror through his whole
frame. After looking at him steadily for
about minute, Dick slowly CALCULATED:
eyes, you are the man. Stand straight"
With fear visible in his countenaEce,
the poor man essayed to do as command

''Straighter yet'' said Dick sThere that
will do" and taking from his pocket small
tape measure, he stopped down and meas
ured him from the toe Of his boot to the
crown OF his hat, took pencil and care
fully noted the height in his pocket-book,
to the utter aniazement Of the stranger;
and after which he measured him across
! the shoulders and again noted the dimen-
sions. He then look ed at the stranger firm
ly in the face and said:
''Sir, am very sorry that it is so, but
[ really will not be able to finish it for
you before morning"
.'Finish what 2 asked the stranger, en-
deavoring in vain to appear calm.
