Away they sped with right good will, ' Through bush and brake, o'er plain and hill, But very soon the ono call'd Joe Declared he could no further go. Jim's hurry would not brook delay, So like a shot he sped away; His journey and his business o'er, He tooii thi' i . ad tor home once more. When half way back he met poor Joe, Walking along but very slow, Who when ho 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 flve-and-twenty miles to go ?" Quoth Jim, " The secret you BhaU know How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemus always makes my shoes.
