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,
Ho may toil, be may strive, the whole 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
lie; ,
How his heart will expand when a babe's on bis 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
sbelf;
But she tried Golden Ale, and Its magical train
Brought beauty and youth to her cheek once again.
And ’overs in scores to her cottage repair,
Youth blooms on 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 'tie health to the sick, to the blind It is light.

■0 8. 7-30 LOAN.
By authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, the
undersigned nas assumed the General Subscription
Agency for the sale of United States Treasury No
tes, bearing seven and three-tenths per cent interest
per annum, known as "the
SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN.
These Notes are issued under date of August 16th,
1864, and are payable three years from that time, in
currency, or are convertible at the option of the
holder into
UNITED STATES 6-20 SIX PER CENT.
OOLD-BKARINII BONDS.
These bonds arc 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,
num, besides exemption frrnn State and municipal
taxation, which adds from one to three per cent, more,
according to the rate levied on other property. The
interest is payable semi-annually by coupons attached
to each note, which may be cut off and sold to any
bank or banker.
The interest amounts to.
One cent, per day on a SSO note.

$1 “ “ “ SSOOO “
Notes of all denominations named will be prompt
ly furnished upon receipt^of subscriptions. This is
THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKET
now offered by the Government, and it is confidently
expected that its superior advantages will make it the
GREAT POPULAR LOAN OF TOE PEOPLE.
Less than $2,000,000 remain unsold, which will pro
bably be disposed of within the next 60 or 90 days,
when the notes will undoubtedly command a pre
mium, as has uniformly been the case on closing the
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
vate Bankers throughout the country have gener
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
for the delivery ofthe Notes for which they receive or
