Special A«lvci*ti§cn*eEßffs. R HANNAH & C° r A BOOT-IFUL YARN. 'Twas on a sandspit out at the Bluff, AVho 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 ivight on the beach recite, In a loud and minor key. Oh! I wear HANNAH'S Boots and shoes, None other's make Avear I! I wear thorn iioav, and I always a'oav, 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 aud Shoes?' Said he, "D'ye twig these boots I've got on, Thov Avere made by the firm of HAN*NAH; And Avhere else AA'ill you get a pair like them For thirteen bob and a tanner? "I Avas once shipwrecked on an isle, And lived at first on roots ; The roots gaA-e out, and I fell back On HANNAH'S Well-made Boots. " I boiled the uppers, stewed the soles — AVhioh 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 wet as in fine Aveather. " So I wear none but HANNAH'S Boots, No other make wear I; When duath was rif.., thoy saved my life, And I'll Avear thorn till I die." X)RICE T IST.
