Through bush and brake, o'< r plain and hill, But veiy suou the on- call'd Joe Declared he cou d no further go. Jim's hurry would not brook delay, So like a shot h- sped away ; Bis journey and his business o'er, He took the road f r home once more. When half way back he met poor Joe, Walking along but very flow, ■V&ho when he saw that it was Jim, Wiih rueful face thns question'd him: " Pray tell me friend how it can be, That you can walk so light and free, "While I, wi'h blisters on each toe, Have flve-and-twenty miles to go 7" Quoth Jim, "The secret jou shall know How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I aon't abuse, And Hemtjs always makes my shoes.
