MANY democratic papers have pub
lished, upon the authority of the N.
Y. Evening Post, that the American
Club of New York had gone over to
Fremont. This is a falsehood manu-
featured by the Black Republicans to
injure Mr.. Fillmore. Only one of the
whole Club went over,--the President,
Van Ripper, who sold himself for 81,
600, and was promised $1,000 more il
he should succeed in carrying the Club
with him. The Club, among many
other eloquent and noble resolutions
which we shall publish next week, has
the following:
Resolved, That the National Club
send nine cheers greeting to every
American Club in the Union that they
will fight now and fight ever for the
glorious cause of American men.
Resolved, That we brand as false
and cowardly every charge of treach-
cry on our part, by whomsoever made
and we here again demand the re-
turn Of the flag, as it never shall move
through the streets of New York in
the black republican ranks.
Resolved, That the National Club
will support for the high position of
President and Vice President of the
United States, the Hon. Willard Fill
more and Andrew Jackson Donelson,
and to this end we hereby pledge the
whole strength of the National Amer
lean Club.

"Amen," cried Catherine and her hus'

Peace and happiness, as much rs usually
falls to the happiness of mortals, were the
lot of Catherine and her husband from thii
time forward, their great source ofinquitude
being thus taken away. The wife even
loved her husband more, from the discovery
that the circumstances which had caused
her distress, were but proof Of his extreme
tenderness of heart and conscience; and
William was attached the more strongly ia
Catherine, after finding her to be the per.
son whom he had unwittingly injured. A
new tie, as it were, had been formed be-
tween them. Strange as this history may
appear, It is true.

THE HUsB iND's SECRET.

One day, q good many years ago, ayoung
woman Knocked at the door ofa little cot
tage in the suburbs Of the town Of Newcas-
tle-upon- Tyne. The knock was immediate
ly responded to by the opening of the door
from within. An aged woman, neatly dress
cd. and who had evidently risen from her
wheel, was the sole inmate of the little cot.
q. Bless your heart, girl, said the dame as
she entered with her visitor, and sat down to
the wheel again; " there must surely be
something particular about you to-day for
YOU did not use the knock"
al was afraid some one might be with
YOU, MOTHER" said the girl who had taken
seat opposite the spinner.
"!And though neighbor had been here"
replied the dame, "this surely wouldn't
have frightened you away. But the truth
is, YOU have got something to say to me,
Catherine" !" continued the speaker kindly /;

the best counsel old Hannah can give. v
The young woman blushed and did not
sneak. "Ilas William Hutton asked you
to become his wife, Catherine" said the
dame, who easily and rightly anticipated
the matter that was in the thoughts Of her
youthful visitor.
"IIe has, mother" was the reply.
The woman began to birr earnestly at her
wheel. "well, my dcar," said she, after
a short pause, a. is not that what you have
long expected-aye, and wished' he has
your heart and so suppose il needs no
witch to tell what will be the end ont"
This might all be very true, but there
was something upon GATHERINGS mind which
struggled to bc out and it came. "Dear
Hannah, )" said she, seating herself close by
the dame, and taking hold Of her hand,
=. you have been kind friend-a parent

pear great, but when its future results are
taken into account, it will be found to be a
remarkably paying expenditure, the gain
amounting perhaps, to Eve hundred or a
thousand per cent. for subsequent years.
Il may be greatly cheapened on all grounds
where team can be used, by the subsoil
plow, to loosen up to depth ofone and a
half to two feet. A double Michigan plow
may be afterwards employed with great ease
in this loosened bed Of soil, to bring any
desired portion to the surface, but more es-
pecially for working in through all parts a
plentiful supply Of manure.

OF this expense, $50 are paid for fifty
loads of manure, (for half an acre or 100
loads per acre) and only SI,I5 for all else,
after the manure is applied, the drawing Of
the manure being reckOned with the cost,
81 per load. The manure would cost the
same il applied in the common way, and
would be much less Efficient, hence the sub
soiling, plowing and narrowing, are opera
tious of great economy, if only the saving
in the manure is considered.
The mode and depth of some of the plow-
ings must be made to vary with circum-
stances. IL the subsoil is sterile, the plow-
ing after the subsoiling must not be so deep ;
and u fourth coat of manure, well harrow
ed, and turned under with gang-plow,
will be advisable. The precaution must be
observed, however, in any modification OF
the preceding process, to throw down each
successive coat Of manure to depth differ

Piled, a great number Of harrowings will be
necessary to break and intermix it, an op-
Grafton of the greatest importance, and in
crcasing several times the efficiency of the

The present time Of year will he found
suitable for preparing for some Of these op-
erations. Sometimes hand-trenching may
