DoN'T CRoAK. Whatever else you do,
or don't do, don't croak. Croaking isn't
the natural utterance OF human voices -
Let the bull-frogs and copperheads have
u monopoly OF it, Be sure you are no true
patriot il you croak; true patriots never
croak, whatever happens.
If you want JEFF. Davis & Co. to pros.
per and swallow the North, but are afraid
openly to help him, croak-that will help
him indirectly a little. If you want the
Union armies to be defeated, ard the
Union cause depressed, but don't dare to
say so right ont, croak--that will aid it a
little. 1t you want Grant 10 fail to take
Richmond, and to be whipped by Lee. but
don't want to do any fighting on either
side, croak--that will be the most efficient
aid you can properly afford, with reason
able safety to your whole skin. Say, sol.
emily, with long face, that gold will
soon be 300; advise people to buy a bar
rel Of sugar before the price goes up clear
out Of sight; snfIle over the dreadful
times which are just ahead for the poor
turn up your eyes with holy horror at
greenbacks, and just intimate that you ex.
pect TO live TO SEQ them sold by the bush
el for the price of pager rags! In short,
croak, croak, cRoAK!
But if you are true patriot; II you be.
lieve in God; if you want the country to
succeed in putting down the rebellion; If
you mean to do your part in aiding it
toward that glorious conSummation--don't
croak!

Editing a paper now is a very pleasant
business. If it contains too much political
matter people won't have 1t
If it contains too little they wont have it.
If the type is little they can't read it.
If vi p. blish telegraph reports folks say
they are nothing but lies.
Ii we omit them they say we have no en-
terprise, or suppress them for political eff
iect.
1t we have in a few jokes, folks say we are
nothing but a rattle head.
If we omit jokes they say we are an old
fossil.
If we publish original matter they censure
US for not giving selections.
If we publish selections, folks say we are
lazy for not writing more, and giving them
what they have not read in some other pa
per.
If We give a man a complimentary notice
we are censured for being partial.
If we do not, all hands agree we are a
greedy animal.
If we speak well Of any act of the Presi-
dent, folks say we dare not do otherwise.
If We remain in the Office and attend to
business, folks say we are too proud to min
gle with our fellows.
If We 20 out they say we never attend to
business.
If we don't pay all bills promptly. folks
say we are not to be trusted.
1t we do pay promptly. they say we steal
the money.
If we wear poor clothes. they say our bus
iness is poor.
If we wear good ones they say we are a
spendthrift.
Now what is a poor fellow to do ?-ET.

We notice in the Times of Wednesday a
proposition by 4" Alumnus :" for ~ mas
meeting of all the friends of the University,
Masters, Alumni, Patrons and friends gene
rally, to consider and take proper action in
regard to it." He speaks as if such a meet
ing would decide either that the Institution
should "close up its concerns" or if not,
that 1t would i~naugurate a movement to
raise speedily a handsome fund for its more
ample endowment. We presume the sug-
gestiOn of Alumnus" springs from his own
good wlll-for he does not indicate that it
originates from any of the Corporation or
Faculty of the University and we are not
aware that such a meeting ha, been intended
by those officially connected with it. The
need of more funds for the Institution is
well known; but for what particular pur.
poses and in what wav they shall be raised,
needs prudent and careful deliberation-
such as cannot be given by a public meeting,
such at" Alumnus'speak Of. We have reason
to suppose that the proper authorities of the
Institution are giving the subject their at
%tention, and that in due time their %conclu-
sions will be made known. If then. such a
meeting a" Alumnus' speaks Of is thought
desirable it will be soon enough to have it
called. So much Of Alumnus' letter a. i'm
plies the death of the Institution, under any
contingency, we dissent from, emphatically.
New England Colleges do not die. We
have seen those of this State in far greater
straits than they are nov; but they are
alive, and are likely to be for ages to come.
