The Baltimore Journal Of Com
MERGE Of last week has contribution
from Mr.. Henry NJ. Holiday, in
which croakers are mustered to the
rear and a statistical FcompaTison
drawn between the States Of Bfassa-
chusetts and Virginia, showing the
prospects and wonderful possibilities
of the latter, in which respect we of
the lower Shenandoah Valley, al
though in West Virginia, will share
in the highest. degree. Apropos of
the newspapers Mr. Holiday says:
The boom struck the croaker while
he slept. 1t took him unawares, and
he was routed; but he has rallied his
forces, and now it is war to the knife.
Upon the one side the croaker, and
to him will repair every man who
hath grievance against fate; upon
the other the youth and hope and
faith and pluck of the land. In some
places one side will triumph. and in
some the other. Tie most potent

which the fate ofbattle rests, is prin-
ter's ink. No town can grow with
out help from the outside, and the
only way to get it is by iudicious nd
vertising. Wherever a-town, fright
ened' by the voice of the croaker,
ceases to. advertise, It will cease to
grow. Those who do not sow, cannot
reap. Tire men who are wise enough
to be bold, the towns that were not
born to die, win spend two dollars in
advertising now where they spent
one before the panic. There is no
time to sleep or rest. We are in the
enemy's country; to halt is to die
The croaller has on his war-paint.
He hangs upon our rear ready to

IA merry mood you blossomed,
Little BAH Of silver gray;
You were golden then and CHEEKY
AS the eye of Winsoms day,
Then the earth was bare and biighted,
And the heids were brown and sore.
And you came with looks delighted,
Happiest thing of all the year.
Now the fields are pied with daieies-
Woods with blossoms oyerrun,
And you stand the ghost of springtime,
Shining warmly in the son.
Bnt you chose the nobIest mission,
Gave your cheer when earth was cold,
And when days were poor and barren
Froely scattered all your gold.
