n NEW SECRET ORDER-TuE ssMOLLY Ma
GURE."-The ssMolly Mcguire" is a secret po-
litical Democratic organization, composed
wholly of Roman Catholic Irishmen. and it is
intended to spread the society over the coun-
try, in order to control the Democratic NOM
nations and the elections. 1t is the ruling
power in the Democratic party. The late nom
mating Convention OF the party in Philadel-
phia, was composed principally OF the Molly
Maguires, who secured nearly all the officers
1t is bound by oaths, is strictly organized, with
presiding and subordinate officers, pass words,
signs, grips, degrees, &c. Such is the nfiu-
ence Of this secret order, that candidates for
office find it necessary to secure its favor in
order to make sure OF their nomination. Some
of the Democrats are indignant, and talk of
calling a Convention of true Democrats to
crush out the s'Molly Maguires,'' who are look
cd upon as kind of foreign '.know nothing''
order. 1t is alleged to have originated in Bos-
ton, and extended thence to New York and all
the principal cities of the Union.

solvent condition, and if the measures sug-
gestcd be adopted, the Banks viii be enabled
to meet all their liabilities, supply currency
adequate to the demands of legitimate trade

industry, and save their creditors and the COM
munity from the bankruptcy and ruin, inevita-
bly, consequent on the intense pressure of the
present financial crisis.

POTATOES, CLEARING LAND

DR.. CLouD-Dear Sir: Desiring to be

views in answer to your correspondent, ga.
H." Lime, after long exposure to the at
mosphere, or Plaster is good application to
the potatoe vines, for though it will not kill
the bugs, it prevents, in great measure
their ravages and adds very much to the
crop.

the greatest amount of vegetable matter

the soil.
When old orchards of peach or apple trees
become exhausted, it is good plan to sow

ing, continuing the practice until the desired
effect is produced on the trees-this is the
course of reasoning-the green pasturage de-
rives by far its largest amount of nutrlment
from the atmosphere, and when plowed un-
der, together with the droppings of the ami
mails, returns more to the soil than is taken
from it; if on the contrary the gain is suffer-
ed to ripen and taken off, the soil is minus
lust so much as was needed to perfect the
grain, and there may not be enough of the
same essential material remaining in the soil
for the trees to fully mature their frult-a
crop of grain can be taken off advantageous
" to the trees, only when there is too Vlgor-
Gus growth. Where the object however
is the best possible crop of fruit, the ground
should be cultivated for that purpose alone.
1t is generally admitted now that trees with
low heads are best for this climate, and in
practice, where regular system of pruning
is acted upon, they do unquestionably pro,
duce the finest fruit, are longer lived, can
be planted nearer together, not so apt to be
injured by storm, and their appearance so
fine, that the verriest utilitarian would hesl-
tate to turn his cattle into them.
Throughout the South there are immense
numbers of peaches annually fruited from
seed, and among them doubtless, many very
fine varieties that seldom get known be-
yond the localities where they were raised
it is very desirable that they pass throug h
the hands of the Pathological Society.

HUMAN GLoRY.--The temple of Jerusa-
lem passed away; and of its magnifcence
only few crumbling, pilgrim kissed stones
remain. The Parthenon, the brightest gem
on the zone of the earth, is now a heap of
ruins. The Roman Forum is how a COW
market; the Tarpeian Rock, cabbage gar
den; and the Palace of the Caesars, rope
walk. The Pyramids themselves--those
gigantic memorials of a gigantic age-are
ali fastening to decay. The Tiber, once SO
celebrated, is muddy stream; the lllisus,
once so glorious, is choked with weeds; the
Olympus, black hill; and the Acropolls
forsaken.

READING A LOVE LETTER.

An amusing instance of Hibernian simpll-
city is afforded by the following little story;
told US by friend, in whose words we give
it.
Molly, orr house maid, is model one,
who handles a broom like sceptre, and
who has an adherence for dirt, and sympa-
thy for soapsuds, that amount to passion.
Sheis bustling, busy, rosy checked, bright
eyed, blundering Hibernian, who hoVers a.
bout our book shelves, making war upon our
papers, and goes about thirsting for new
worlds to conquer, in the shape of undusted
and unrighted corners.
One day she entered our library in con-
fused and uncertain manner, quite different
from her usual bustling way. She stood at
the door with letter between her thumb
and finger, which she held at arms length
as if she had gun powder plot in her grasp.
In answer to our inquiry as to her business,
she answered: can may it please yer hon.
or, I'm poor girl, and han't much larnin' ,
and ye sees, plase yer honor, Paddy 0 Reil'
ly, and the better than him dosen't brathe
in ould Ireland, has been writin' to me a
letter-a love letter, phase yer honor and

We guessed at her embarrassment and Of
fered to relieve it by reading the letter.
Still she hesitated, while she twisted bit OF
raw cotton in her fingers.
"Shure," she resumed, dan that's jist
what want, but it isn't gentleman like
yerself that would be knowing the sacrets
between US, and so," here she twisted the
cotton quite pervously, "if it'll onlyplase yel
honor, while yer reading it, so that you may
not hear it yerself, if yell Jia put this dH o,

and thin the saerets i'll be unknown to yerr. "
We hadn't the heart to refuse her, and
with the gravest face possible, complied with
her request; but often since, we have laug b.
ed heartily as We have related the incident
