KEEP AWAY FROM MUsLIN.-Boys, if you
don't want to fall in love, keep away from
muslin. You can no more play with those
girls without losing your hearts, than you
can play with gamblers without losing yonr
money. The heartstrings of woman, like
the tendrils of a vine are always reaching
out for something to cling TO. The conse-
quence is, that before you are going you ore
"gone," like II lot at ap auction.
Rl~ A well known gentleman in Boston,
in Friday last, had cut from his body, some
six inches below the arm, fungus-like sub
stance, of the size Of an ordinary marble
II was attached to the body by a thread like
ligament. On placing il upon the table,
and for some three or four hours, IL moved
perceptbly. A dissection of the substance
discovered an insect in vigorous life. The
gentleman visited Cuba some six months
since, where it is supposed the insect insin-
uated itself beneath the skin, and from that
time has been living upon the fat of the
man.
nsa- The following method of preparing
green cucumbers, so as to render them
healthful diet, was related TO us yesterday
10y gentleman who says he speaks from
experience
Soak the cucambers in cold water over
night; then pare and cut in thin slices
place them in deep plate or dish; sprinkle a
little salt and pepper over them then slice
IA few onions over the top, after which pour
on half pint of good cider vinegar. After
this is done throw plate, cucumbers, onions
and all out of the window \ good idea,
and no mistake.
FINANCIAL STRAITS OF AUsrRIA.-The IL
nancial straits OF Austria are represented TO
be terrible. Within three or four weeks she
has Issued one hundred and twenty millions
of paper money, without any metallic basis.
She has also ordered forced loan of seventy
millions in Lombardo- Austria, and a general
raising of all the taxes, direct and indirect,
which are TO be paid in silver, which is SO
scarce rs 10 be actually unattainable. And
all these extraordinary means were taken
before the first battle has been fought. If
the war should last IA couple of years, what
may be expected 10 be the condition of the
country? Ii is said that the commercial
distress of the country in consequence of the
depreciation OF the paper currency is freight
f'ul. That depreciation has already reached
fifty per cent, and many failures have result
edip consequence. The great banking houses
are heavy losers that of Trastrain & Eslleles
failed lately, and this was followed by many
others. The provinces complain that they
are unable TO pay the taxes.
