Jim's hurry would not brook delay, So like a shot he sped away ; His journey and bis 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, AVith 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 miles to go 7" Quoth Jim, " The secret you shall know How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemus always makes my shoes.
