Away they sped with right good will, Through bush and brake, o'er plain and hill, But very soon the one 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 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 five-and-twenty miles to go ?" 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. We forget whether Jim wore a pair of our Men's Elastic Sides or Balmoral Boots at 12s 6d, but they both go well. His wife has kept up to him for years, aDd she wears our own make Kid Elastic Sides at 10s 6d. HEMUS'S STAR"iOOT WAREHOUSE, Market Corner, Queen-street. SINGE R'S gEWING !
