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,
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; j
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;
But she tried Golden Ale, and its magical train
Brought beauty and youth to her cheek once again.
And lovers 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 Gelden Ale.
The old and the yonng 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.

makes the actual profit on the 7-30 loan, at current

mini, besides exemption from ,State and municipal

according to the rate levied on other property. The

With the execution of this order.

of Lienb Harold, Ist N. Y. Vol. Engineers, are ap
proved. Lieutenant Harold is hereby reprimanded

-1 ample of subordination and self-restraint, th3t a com
missioned officer should bo to the men of his com
mand. He is released from arrest and restored to
