On BEING IN DEBT.

To be out ot debt is accounted n part
Of happiness. Debt haunts the mind;
conversation about justice troubles il:
the sight OF n creditor fills IL with con
fusion; even the sanctuary is no, place
OF refuge. The borrower is a servant To
the lender. "A life nj another man >
table is not 60 be- accounted for life
IL Is mean to ilatter the rich. IL is hu-
initiating to be the object of pity
To be the slave of una,,ainable desires

dependence, SO essential To- the virtues
and pleasures OF neutrality-suspicious.
can only be maintained by setting
bounds to yout desires, and owing no
man any thing. a habit OF boundless
expense undermines and destroys the
virtues IN q mind where they seemed

When man OF sensibility thinks OF
the low rate at which ms word must

How desolate and waiul does the mind

himself by means Of sentiments and
professions which were once sincere.

must hereafter answer for Atthis rate
he sells the virtuous pleasures Of loving
and being loved. lie swallows up the
provisions OF aged parents, and the por-
ton OF sisters and brethren. The loss
OF truth Is followed by the Joss OF hn-
manly. His calls are still importunate.
he proceeds To fraud. and walks on

MAMMOTH CucUMBER.-We have
RARELY seen a greater curiosity of the
vegetable kingdom than was exhibited
yesterday at the Suffolk Insurance Of
fice. II was a cucumber of the enor-
nous length off feet 10 inches, and &
inches in circumference in the largest
part. IL is familIarly termed the snake
cucumber, and bears the exact pro.
portion and resemblance Of an enor,
nous serpent. Towards the "head"
part, say about one-third OF its length,
Il is rather straight, and reclines in a
natural position on the ground; but the
rest Of the body forms two or three in
volutions. or coils in serpentinc al.i-
tude, and any one who should see il
IN the grass would at once mistake il
for frightful green serpent. 1t was
grown in the garden OF Mr.. Boot, in
Lowell, where there Is another Of still
larger dimensions. Tho species is
SAID to partake Of the very best flavor
OF the ordinary cucumber.-Bos. Ga-.
