Written when times were dull, and Golden Ale want ed n 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, Let him drink Golden Ale, and his spirit! 'twill cheer, Till the glow on his cheek draws some kind creature near. Let him drink Golden Ale, and soon wedded he’ll bo; | 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 herselt When no kind hand was near, she must get on the shelf; But she Srled 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 taems 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. bottled and for sals bt PIERCE SKEBAN, 62 and 63 Liberty street, New York, And 176 Broughton street, Savannah, Ga. p S. 7-30 LOAN.
