What'* the world to a man without children and wife, He may toll, he may strive, the whole longth of his life, Let him drink Golden Ale, and his spirits 'twill cheer, Till the glow on his cheek draws some kind creature near. Let him drink Golden Alo, and soon wedded he’ll he; | Jfow his heart will expand when a babe's on hi* knee: pet him povor lrufiibo till hi* spouse have a share, And blessings and peace will for eve* be there. The old maiden, too, had long thought to herselfi When no kind hand was near, she must get on the shelf i But she tried Golden Ale, and Its magical train Brought beauty and youth to her cheek once agalp. And 'overs in scores to her cottage repair, Youth blooms on her cheeks and raven’s her hair, Onca again in her teens she’s the Belle of the Vale, And Is doatlngly fond of the famed Golden Alo. The old and the young to he hearty and hale, Should each day imbibe of this bright Golden Ale, And their collars well store for the cold winter's night As ’tls health to the sick, to the blind It Is light. norn.En and for sale ur PIERCE SKEHAN, 62 and 03 Liberty street, New York, And 170 Broughton street, Savannah, Ga, marU ANTED, A Gentleman would like a nice Room in a private lamiiy, with or without board.
