seems to be the burning ques-
ton of the day, and one we
had rather leave to wiser heads

great statesmen are wrestling
with this momentous question,
we want to have a little "bo7v-

Has it not occurred to you
that you've been wearing that

For instance, both a soul may lose.
Both have been tanned; Both are mad

Both get left and right;
Both need mate to be complete;
And both are made to go on feet.
They both need healing; oft are sold,
And both in time will turn to mould.
With shoes the last is first; with men
The first shall be the last; and when
The shoes wear out, they're mende'

When men wear out, they're men dea

They both are trod upon, and both
Will tread on others nothing 10th.
Both have their ties, and both incline
When polished, in the world to shine;
And both peg out. Now would 20
