A N OLD STORY RE-MORAL'D. J\. Two men a journey had to go (The one was Jim, the other Jce), The distance two score miles and ton, 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 he could no further go. Jim's hurry would not brook delay, So like a shot hn sped away; His journey and his business ocr, He took the road for home once more. • When half way back he met poor Joe, Walking aloDg but very slow, Who when he saw that it was Jim, "VViih rueful face thus question'd him : " Pray tell me friend how it can be, That you can walk so light and free, While I, wiili blisters on each toe, Have five-and-twenty milefi to go ?" Quoth Jim, " The secret you shall know How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemtjs always makes my shoes. We forget whether* Jim wore a pair of our Hen's Elastic Sides cv 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 Sides t at 10s 6d. HEMUS'S STAR~iboT WAREHOUSE, Market Corner, Queen-street. MJci.
