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, i "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, wUh blisters on each too, Have five-and-twenty milet to go 1" Quotli Jim, " The secret you shall know How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemt/8 always makes my shoes.
