A sermon for Sundays, oh! preach, preach to me!
Let those who don't like it complain!
But should it delight me, the seats being free,
I'm likely to hear it again.
Yours,
Knott Moore.
Pitch-ed Out.—A motion for the introduction of tar-macadam, instead of granite, as pavement for the Aberdeen streets, was rejected by the Town Council after a lengthy and lively discussion upon the subject. What really gave the coup de grâce to the cause of the Tar-macadamites was a councillor's statement that "he had often got a wet foot in a tar-macadam street ('Hear, hear!')." This alarming assertion effectually "queered the pitch"—to use a slang expression—for the would-be innovators, and "granite and dry feet" won the day by fourteen votes to nine.
MEDIÆVAL GUNNERY PRACTICE.
