Special Advertisements. IThan]^ A BOOT-IFUL YARN. 'TAvas on a sandspit out at the Bluff, AVho likes to see it can, That I saAV 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 iioav, and I ahvays vow, To wear them till I die. And he stood on his head, and shook his feet, Till I really felt afraid, i 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 ancl Shoes?' Said he, "D'ye twig these boots I've got on, They Avere made by tho firm of HANNAH ; And where else will you get a pair like them For thirteen 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 AVell-madc Boots. '' I boiled the uppers, stewed the soles— AVhich 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 Avas saved, and I tell abroad The fame of HANNAH'S Leather ; It's just as strong, and lasts as long, In Avet as in fine Aveather. " So I Avear none but HANNAH'S Boots, No other make Avear I; death Avas rif'j, thoy saved my life, And I'll Avear them till I die." T)RICE T IST.
