A New DEviCE,-Eastern papers
say that is fact susceptible OF proof,
that brisk business is carried on in
the manufacture and sale OF "brandy
drops"--a kind OF candy, or prepara-
tion of gum, containing about thimble
lnll of brandy, or seme other kind Of
intoxicating liquor. A very few oil
these drops thus ,hroughly medicated,
will produce intoxication. Instances
have been known in which they have
been dealt out to children, even young
girls, who became drunk in consequence
of it. This is a refinement of deprav>
ity which should make Satan ashamed
OF himself. We are no great friends
of the neck-s:retching business, bul

who engage in such a detestable traffic

and his party went noiselessly 10 his
residence last night. A gentle tap by
one OF the party, brought very polite,
nice little woman to the door, who said
Mr.. Miner was not in. In The mean
time MIR. NJ. was making his exit out
the back way, and was arrested by one
OF the deputies.
The beSeiging party then pitched in
to the house, but found the innerroom,
containing Mra. Miner and a Mr..
Rosecrants alias Nicholas, locked, and
admitance refused. The order was
given to burs, open the door, when it
was quickly opened by the lady. In
the stove was found a roaring fire, all
of nsw bank bills, just put in. Rose
Grants and lady were seized, the room
searched, and about twsnty thousand
dollars OF prettily printed bank bills, all
on Eastern Banks, were. found ready
Tor circulation, and a whole trunk full
ready to be filled out.
Son Miner was found letter from
one Of the gang, ordering a large
amount to be remitted to him, as he
was going East via Philadelphia and
Baltimore, and could put it off like hot
cakes. A list Of retail dealers, custo.
mers from abroad, who were patroniz.

THE WORLD WOULD BE BETTER FOR 1T

TILE WORLD WOULD BE BETTER FOR IT
If men cared less for wealth and fame,
And less for battlefelds and glory;
If, with human hearts, name
Seemed better than in song and story;
Ifmen, instead of nursing pride,
Would learn to hate it and abhor it
If more relied
On Love to guide,
The world would be the better for it,
If men dealt less in stocks and lands,
And more in bonds and deeds fraternal;
If loves work had more willing hands
To link this world to the supenal;
lfmen stored mp Loves oil and wine,
And on bruised human hearts would pour it
If" yours and /" mine"
Would once combine,
The world would be the better for it.
Fmorc would act the play of Life,
And fewer spoil it in rehearsal;
If bigotry would sheath its knife
TIL good became more universal
If Custom, gray with ages grown,
Had fewer blind men to adore it;
If talent shone
In Truth alone,
The world would be the better for it.
Ifmen were wise in little things
Affecting less in all their dealings;
If hearts had fewer rusted strings
To isolate their kindly feelings;
II men, when Wrong beats down the Right,
Would strike together and restore it;
If Right made Might
In every fight,
The world would be the better for it.
