Liver tool ATcreuri. OUR OWN FIRESIDE. Dear in the morn's soft blooming gale Is budding May : Swcetin the wild-rose scented vale The scattered hay ! Dear is the early evening star, The lovers guide : But dearer still, and sweeter far, Our own fireside. Dear is the linnets lively song. That cheers the grove ; Sweet is the breese that wafts alon The sight of love ; Dear to the sailor's heart the call Of land descried ; But, ah ! more dear more sweet than all, Our own fireside. -o ; : . o o : : ; IMIOPOSALS For carrying Mails of the United States on the following Post Roads, will be received at the G neral Post Oflice until the 1 1th of Ocober next, inclusive.
