A ParIor Ornament.

We saw in the parlors OF a friend
a very beautiful conceit 1t is OF
course the fancy of lady, and con-
sists of the burr of pine tree, place d
in wine glass half full of water, and
from between the different layers OF
the burr are shooting forth green
blades bright, beautiful, refreshing.
For a little thing we have seen moth
ing that so pleased us by it's 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 as above. In a few days
the moisture and nOurishment gave
the burr life and health. The different
circles closed and buried within them
selves the grass seed, and few days
more gave the seed life also, sprout
and growth, and now pyramid OF
living green beautifully relieved by
the sombre hue of the burr is the
result-as pretty and novel parlor
ornament as we have, for long while,
seen. We do not know whether the
idea was original with the lady or not,
but we do know it is beautiful-Con-
tributed.
