THE JANITORS' BALL.

THERE are many societies in College, and the janitors - who are never known to fail in any thing except their work - have determined to add another to the list. The society which they intend to form has for its object not the pursuit of knowledge, but simply pleasure. The janitors and goodies expect to give a ball every year. They feel that they are overworked in taking care of students' rooms, and that they must have some relaxation to bring back their health, shattered by almost constant application of the broom and duster. There is another reason, too, which prompts, them to give a ball. The janitors are yearly paid a large sum by the College, and they think it their duty to spend a certain part of this for the entertainment of the Faculty, which has been so generous in the giving of large salaries. The crest of this new society is the picture of a goody with broom and duster in her hand getting ready to sweep, which, it will be observed, is true to nature - that being as far as she ever gets. Beneath will be the Latin motto, "Labor omnia vincit."

The editors of the College papers will be invited to the ball on account of the kind criticisms which they have at different times passed upon the thoroughness of the work done by the janitors. The Floor Committee will wear brooms in their button-holes, and the matrons, taken from the best known of the goodies, will be distinguished by dusters at their belts. "Mr. Matthewsalah" who, it is thought, has acquired more grace in skipping than any of the other janitors, will lead the German.
