Q.OLDKN ALE.
Written when time* were dull, and Golden Ala wast
ed a market—many years ago. *
What’s the world to a man without children and wife,
He may toll, he may strive, the whole length of his
life,
Let him drink Golden Ale, and his spirits ’twill cheer,
Till the glow on his choek draws some kind creature
near.
Let him drink Golden Ale, and soon wedded he’ll
be;
How his heart will oxpand when a babe’s on his knee;
Let him never imbibe till his spouse have a share,
And blessings and peace will for over be there.
The old maiden, too, had long thought to herself
When no kind hand was near, she must got on the
shelf;
But she tried Golden Ale, and its magical train
Brought beauty aud youth to her cheek once again.
And lovers in scores to her cottage repair,
Youth blooms on her cheeks and raven’s her hair,
Ouce again in her teens she’s the Belle of the Vale,
And is doatingly fond of the famed Golden Ala.
The old and the young to be hearty and halo,
Should each day imblbo of this bright Golden Ala,
And their collars well store for the cold winter’s night
As tie health to the sick, to the blind it is light
