-~-HASZARD'S GAZETTE, MAY 11.

A literary looking man was looking at rooms to let, in the Rue Chausse d’ An- tin, and chanced, in talking to the porter, who showed them, to use the phrase “ my profession.” “ Ah, you have a profession ?” exclaimed the Cerberus. “ You are an artist, perhaps, and receive a greatdeal of company. Or you are an architect, ora doctor, or a lawyer, and re- ceive clients! That would not suit the landlord, at all.” “ Yes I have a profes- sion, and [have some clients, but they will never come here, [ assure you.” ‘* How is that? what are you then?” “Lam the executioner, Sir.”

Parisian Luxury.—As a slight indi- cation to assist in forming a judgment upon habiis and manners in French So- ciety in Paris, and of the height to which luxury of every kind has been gradually rising here in the last ten years, what should you think of a lady having, with- in the space of about twenty months, a bill at her drapers of 79,000 francs? — upward of £3,000! Such is the fact, however. An action was brought, last week, by a draper against a lady in so- ciety here for the payment of her bill, which had been long owing. The de- fendant’s counsel pleaded the necessity of reducing the items of the bill, which were, he said, exorbitant. ‘The plaintiff's counsel, on the contrary, brought the bills of other persons to prove, that there was nothing extraordinary in the charges set down in the one in question. The Court has Lot yet pronounced sentence one way or thé other. One item was three pairs of embroidered sheets, at £120 each pair; dinner napkins, £20 and £30 the dozen ; collars, £36 apiece ; and 4 pair of manchettes, 700 francs (£28). These are proofs of that extra- ‘vagance in dress on the part of the French elegantes which people actually will not believe in England, but which are really of common occurrence. These manchettes of £28 correspond to another instance of wasteful extravagance which I have known to be committed by ladies with whom I have the honour of being personally acquainted, and who are in other respects perfectly irreproachable, namely, the wastefulness of putting on a new pair of boots every day, and wear- ing at least two if not three pairs of gloves a day.—Paris Correspondent of the Man- chester Guardian.

Florence Nightingale, the woman be- loved of all men and all nations, for her noble humanity, has been gazetted offi- cially as Directress-General of all hospi- tals without her sanction. She has been ill from a fall, but is quite recovered.

Cuttivation or Oats.—At a recent meeting of the New York Farmers’ Club, it was stated, that the oat crop of the Uni- ted States in 1853 amounted to 160,000,000 bushels, which, at 274 cents per bushels, would be worth $50,000,000—only ¢$10,- 000,009 less than the cotton crop.

«© Prof. Mapes stated, that the largest crops of oats raised during the last five years in the neighborhood had been raised by phosphates. e@ oat crop may b removed from the soil about the Ist of August, when carrots are just commencing to grow. Carrot seed should be put in with oats. The effect of the latter isto make the ground light, and when the oat crop is removed, the carrots are found to be clean, and free from weeds, Carrots were fed out profitably in connexion with oats—in the proportion of about one half. When carrots are fed out with oats, he had noticed, that the latter were not gene- rally voided whole in the excrements, as they are, when fed alone. Horses fed

artly on carrots have a sleek skin. The

eaves are alleviated by their use. Horses may reject carrots at first, but will relish them, if sprinkled with a little meal. After eating them a few times, the horses like them.”

Linptey Murnay.—lIt is not generally known, that the prince of English gram- marians was an American, and born within the limits of Lebanon county, Pennsylvania. He was born in the year 1745, at Swatara, in East Hanover town- ship, then Lancaster, now Lebanon county. His father was a miller, and followed that occupation, when Lindley was born, but afterwards devoted his attention to mercantile pursuits, and amassed a considerable fortune by trad- eingin the West Indies. Lindley was the eldest of twelve children, and when about seven years of age, was sent to Philadelphia. that he might have the benefit of a better education, than could be had at Swatara. He studied law in New York, and at the age of twenty-two was called to the bar, where he gathered for himself the reputation of an ‘honest lawyer.”

His ‘Grammar of the English lan- guage” was composed in England, in 1804 and published in the spring of 1805, many millions of copies of which have been sold. He resided forty-two years in England, most of which time he was an invalid. He composed meny other works besides his grammar. He died in 1820, in a village in Yorkshire, being upwards of eighty years of age. He is represented as a Christian and a phi- lanthropist.—He left legacies toa num- ber of relatives and friends, and sums of money to many religious societies. He also directed, that the residue of his

roperty after the decease of his wife, (a Rew York lady, “‘his beloved and affec- tionate Hannah,’ who had n_ his companion for sixty years) should be devoted to pious and benevolent uses. He was a Quaker, and is interred into the burying ground of that sect, in the city of York, England.

Femate Loveniness.—Female loveli, ness never appears to so good advantage. as when set off with simplicity of dress- No artist ever decks his angels with towering feathers and gaudy jewelery ; and our dear human angels, if they would make good their title to that name, should carefully avoid ornaments, which proper- ly belong to Squaws and African Princes, These tinselries may serve to give effect, on the stage or upon the ball-room floor but in daily life there is n> charm equal to that of simplicity. A vulgar taste is not to be disguised, by gold and dia- monds.

Wuen to Wear Inp1a Ruspers.— Many persons wear India-rubber over- shoes in cold dry weather, to keep their feet warm. This is an injurious and evil practice. India rubber shoes are very comfortable and valuable for cover- ing the feet during wet, sloppy weather, but they should never be worn on any other occasion ; their sule use shonld be to keep out water. They should there- fore be put off whenever the wearer enters a house, and be worn as little as possible, jbecause they are air-tight, and both retain and restrain the perspiration of the feet. The air cannot be excluded

sensibly affecting the health. And no habit tends more to good health, than clean feet, and clean dry stockings, so as to allow the free perspiration of the

nether extremities.

Docror Hoor.ann’s CELEBRATED GERMAN BITTERS, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, German Medicine Store,

No. 120 Arch St., one door below Sixth Philada,

Their power over the above diseases is not excelled, if equalled, by any other preparation ia the United

tates, as the cures attest, in many cases after skilful physicians had failed.

These Bitters are worthy the attention of Invalids. Possessing great virtues in the rectification of the liver and lesser glands, exercising the most searching power in weakness and affections of the digestive or. gans, they are withal safe, certain, and pleasant.

Testimony from Maine.

Carr. Daniet Assort, Brooklyn, Maine, July 16, 1843, says: ‘tl was taken ick one year ago,

newspaper having your advertisement af ‘ Hoofland’s German Bitters’ in it, I sent for same immediately, this was about 10 o’clock, at 11 o’clock I took the first dose, and another at 6 o’clock. ‘The effect waa so rapid on me, that I had a geodappetite for supper, and rested well that night, and the next day found me a well man. I have not been without your medicino since, having been sailing between Baltimore, Char- leston and the West India Islands ever since. I have now given up going to sea, and reside in this place, where you should have an agency, as yon could sell large quantities of it.’”

s. B. Han Co., Presque Isle, Aroostook o., Maine, April 24, 1854, say: «We herewith send you a certificate ef a cure performed by the use of only one bottle of the German Bitters, we think Mr. Clark to be a manof veracity, and have no doubt of the truth of his story,’’

Messrs. Jos. B. Hall & Co.—Gentlemen—In ans: wer to your inquiries, I will state that my daughter, aged about 16 years, had been complaining of a pain in her side, for six or seven years, and about the first January last, was taken down and confined to her bed. ‘The pain in her side was very severe, besides being troubled with pains between her shoulders and in hor breast. From reading a number of cures per- formeddby * Hoofland’s German Bitters’? I. was in- duced to try it in her case, and sent to your store and purchased one bottle, She had taken it but a few days when she began to improve, and , after tak- ing only one bottle, she is enjoying better health than
