Special Advertisements. Thamah & c° r A BOOT-IFUL YARN. 'Twas on a sandspit out at the Bluff, Who likes to see it can, That 1 saw alone, on a piece of stone, An elderly fisherman. His hair Avas thick, and black, and long, And thick and long was he ; And I heard this wight on the beach recite, In a loud and minor key. Oh! I wear HANNAH'S Boots and shoes, None other's make wear I! I wear them now, and I always vow, To wear them till I die. And he stood on his head, and shook his feet, Till I really felt afraid, For I could not help thinking the man had been drinking, And so I simply said— " Oh ! fisherman, it's little I know Of Leather, Boots, or Shoes, So tell me quick, why you do stick To HANNAH'S Boots and Shoes?' Said he, "D'ye twig these boots I've got on, They were made by the firm of HANNAH ; And where else will you get a pair like them For thirtecti bob and a tanner ? " I was once shipwrecked on an isle, And lived at first on roots ; The roots gave out, and I fell back On HANNAH'S Well-made Boots. " I boiled the uppers, stewed the soles — Which much resembled lamb— I baked the tongues, and fried the heels, And they tasted just like ham. "The leather was so substantial and strong, So tender, juicy, and light, On it I did thrive, and it kept me alive, Till a ship did come in sight. "Thus I was saved, and I tell abroad The fame of HANNAH'S Leather ; It's just as strong, and lasts as long, In wet as in fine weather. " So I wear none but HANNAH'S Boots, No other make wear I; When death was rife, they saved my life, And I'll wear them till I die." JJRICE J IST.
