N OLD STORY RE-MORAL'D. _____ <• Two men a journey had to go (The one was Jim. the other Joe), The distance two score miles and ten, And fifty long miles back again. Away they sped with right good will, Through bush and brake, o'er plain and hill, But very soon the one call'd Joe Declared ho coutd no further go. Jim's hurry would not brook delay, So like a shot he sped away ; His journey and his business o'er, He took the road for home once more. When half way back he met poor Joe, Walking along but very alow, Who when he saw that it was Jim, With rueful face thus question'd him : " Pray tell me friend how it can be, That you can walk so light and free, While I, with blisters on each toe, Have five-and-twenty mileb to go ?" Quoth Jim, " The secret you shall know How I with e*se and comfort go, Dame Natnre's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemus always makes my shoes. "We forget whether Jim wore a pair of our Men's Elastic Sides or Balmoral Boots at 12s 6d, but they both go well. His wife has kept up to him for years, and she wears our own make Kid Elastic Sidea,at 10s 6d. HEMUS'S STAR BOOT WAREHOUSE, Market Corner, Queen-street. MR.
