There are a few men who keep up a continuous stream of conversation during prayers. This may be the pleasantest way for them to pass the fifteen minutes devoted to the chapel service, but they seem to be entirely forgetful of their neighbors. It is exceedingly disagreeable for a man who wishes to pay attention to the service, to hear two men keep up an incessant whispering and laughing; and it is even more disagreeable when they talk loud enough for him to hear what they say.

"Carl" has also written some very clever verses, but we can almost hear the crank squeak in some of his effusions. However, a tolerant kindness should be shown towards an editor of a fortnightly paper. The Argo has very well formulated its creed...
