Away they spea with right good will, Through bush and brake, 0'..-r plain and hill, But very soon the one call'd Jos Declared he could no furthrjr 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 slow, 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 fivo-and-twenty miles to go 1" Qnoth Jim, " The secret you shall know How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, Ana Hemus always makes my shoes.
