QOLDEN ALE.
Written when times were dull, and Golden 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 whole length of his
life, . 7 .
Let him drink Golden Ale, and hie spirits ’twill cheer,
TUI the glow on his check draws some kind creature
near. .
Let him drink Golden Ale, and soon wedded he’ll
be;
How his heart will expand when a bnbe’s on his knee;
Let him never iiabib* till his spouse have a share,
And blessings and peace will for ever be there.
The old maiden, too, baa Iqng thought to herself,
When no kind hand was near, she must got on the
shelf;
But she tried Golden Ale, and its magical traip •
Brought beauty and youth to her cheek once again.
Aud 'overs in scores to her cottage repair.
Youth blooms oii her cheeks and raven’s her hair,
Once again in her teens she’s the Belle of the Vale,
And is doatingly fond of the famed Golden Ale.
The old and the young to be hearty and hale,
Should each day imbibe of this bright Golden Ale, *
And their cellars Well store for the cold winter’s night
As ’tis health to the sick, to the blind it is light.
