(jQOLDEN ALE.
Written when times were dull, and Goldon Ale want
ed a market—many years ago.
What’s the world to a man without children and wife,
He may toil, he may strive, the wt\ple length 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- Ale, and soon wedded he’ll
be;
How his heart will expand when a babe’s on his knee;
Let him never imbibe till his spouse have a share,
And blessings and peace will for ever be there.
The old maiden, too, had long thought to herself,
When no kind hand was near, she must get on the
shelf;
Bat she tried Golden Ale, and its magical train
Brought beauty and youth to her cheek once again.
And lovers in scores so her cottage repair,
T outb blooms ou her cheeks aud raven's her hair,
Ouce again in her teens she's the Belle of the Vale,
Aud is doatingjy fond of the famed Goldon Ale.
T he old and the young to be hearty and hale,
Should each day imbibe of this bright Golden Ale,
And their cellurs well store for the cold winter’s night
As ’tis health to tire sick, to the blind it is light.

JJ S. 7-30 LOAN.
By authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, the
undersigned has assumed the General Subscription
Agency for the sale of United States Treasury No
tes, bearing seven and three-tt nils per cent, interest
per annum, known as the
SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN.
These Notes >re issued under date of August 13th,
1864. and are payable three years from that time, in
currency, or are convertible at the option of the
holder into
UNITED BTATES 5-20 SIX PER CENT.
OOLD- BEARING BONDS.
These bonds are now worth a premium of nine per
cent., including gold interest from Nov., which
makes the actual profit on the 7-30 loan, at current
ra es, including interest, about ten per cent, per an,
nnm, besides exemption from IState atul ■municipal
taxation, u/iieh add* from one to three per cent, more,
according to the rate levied on other property. The

Notes of all denominations named will be prompt

THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKET

expected that its superior advantages will make it the
GREAT POPULAR LOAN OF THE PEOPLE.
Less than $2,000,000 remain unsold, which will pro
bably be disposed of within the next CO or 90 days,
when the notes will undoubtedly command a pre

subscription to other Loans.
In order that citizens of every town and section
of the country may be afforded facilities for taking the
loan, the National Banks, State Banks, and Pri

ally agreed to receive subscriptions at par. Sub
scribers will select their own agents, in whom they
have confidence, and who only are to be responsible
