We spoke, a few days since, of the annoyance arising from the bad condition of the water-works in the gymnasium. This trouble was the fault of the directors. But there has been brought to our notice again and again, an intolerable nuisance which cannot so conveniently be laid to the door of the gymnasium authorities: it is caused by some -, we hesitate to call them by the name they plainly deserve.

They enter a bath-room, say at half-past four; after carefully wasting about nine tenths of the hot water in the boilers, they proceed to soak, and enjoy life for an hour. Then leaving the tub with evident regret, they dress with a masterly leisure that is only acquired by constant practice. If fortune smiles, the bath-room is well rid of them by six o'clock; if she frowns, the rows of shivering men waiting for their turn, are lucky if it comes at half past six.

Doubtless most of the offenders are freshmen and "know no better." We hope these words may serve to show them the selfishness of their conduct, But if any of them are upper-class men, we must bear with them as best we may, they are lost beyond hope.

Gentle reader, do not understand that we would discourage cleanliness, far from it. We simply wish to warn these bath-room monopolists of the wrath to come, if they persist in their greedy ways. However, we have not the heart to deprive them altogether of a pleasure apparently so much sought by them. We would suggest that they petition for the use of the tubs all night; and then they may sit and soak in peace, undisturbed by the maledictions of the men waiting without.
