FOR THE ILLINOIS FREE TRADER.

Genitmm-Through the medium of your pa
Der beg leave To direct the attention of the emf
grant, who is vending his way into the wilds o
the far west, 10 the advantages which the town o
NEWARK now holds forth.
This young and promising village, which con
tains about one hundred enterprising inhabitants
is situated upon the state road leading from Chi
cago TO Ottawa, through Napervie and Oswego
Also, upon the county road leading from Juliet tc
Dxon's Ferry, on Rock river, passing through
Lisbon and Milford. Another road leads from
this place through Mission Point and Indian
Greek, to Ottawa, distance Of 10 miles. The
state road granted by the Legislature, passes from
| Rock Island to this place; thence to Juliet al
which place it nersects the great national road to
Toledo, Ohio.
Thus we see, from the position of the place, and
from the termination and intersection of so many
| important roads. that NEWARK is destined to he
a town of magic growth, and importance. The
situation affords one of the most delightful pros
poets in the State. From the same elevated spot
and with one happy sweep Of the eye Holder
mans Grove, Kelog's Grove, Collins Grove, Big
Grove. Long Grove and Hollcnback's Grove can
be distinctly seen, making the most beautiful and
perfect rural scenery that can fill the fancy and
alleviate the eve from that painful monotory OF
sing through Illinois.
NEWARK contains clovcn dwelling houses, one
store, one tavern one grocery, one shoe shop, one
cabinet shop, one blacksmith shop, two tailor
shops, and ono wagon shop; and as "A necessary
ornament to the place there is one Lawyer, one
Justice of the Peace, and one Physician.
MILFORD lies two miles northwest of Newark,
and is fine town. situated OH Fox river, with one
grist mill, and one saw mill. A little further
NORTH aud upon the same beautiful stream, four
miles from Newark, are Mr.. Hollenback's mills.
Lisbon is miles, Oswcgo l5 Napcrvllec %, and
Chicago So miles from Newark. Therefore,
Newark, must from her situation in the centre OF
variety Of advantages, and surrounded with one
of the most productive agricultural sections of the
State, be place of some importance. And htahh
| which is matter Of the deepest interest with lis
ALL is here enjoyed by the citizens to grcaterex-
tent, and with less interrupt 81 from diseases than
any other town in Illinois. Hence, the young
mind is watched over with peculiar interest, and
cultivated with the creates, care, imbihing in
their tender years the principles of virtue, truth
and knowledge, which never fail to exercise d
happy influence through all the social and politi.
cal relations in life.
The emigrant who seeks a happy home, will
End in the people OF Newark, and in those of tho
adjacent country, the same generosity of feeling
the same intelligence, and the same sacred regar'
for morality and religion that he has left in his
own native State. a TRAVELLER.

Hard Cider Melody.

dir-"The las. rose of summer"
IT'S the last of wing loafers,
Left singing alone,
All his pot-housc companions
Are fuddlcd and gone.
No flower of his kindred,
No rum-blossom nigh,
With song on his lips,
And a drop in his eye.
III not leave thee, thou rose bud,
To pine on the stem,
Since the others are snoring,
Go snore now with them.
Thus kindly | lay
A soft plank meath my head,
Where the mates of the cabin
Lie, hard cider dead.
So soon may follow,
When the wings all decay,
And no cider is left us
To moisten our clay.
When the wings are all wi,hcred,
And hard cider gone,
Oh! who would inhabit
This log cabin alonel

Tim Weary.


I'm weary--weary. Life has been to me,
As to all others, mix'd with good and ill:
a wreath of roses on changing sea,
Gliding or tost, as meets the wild winds will.
But good or i'll, smooth sea, or foaming SWELL
Oh, which has wearied most, It's hard to tell.
For evils have patience, and my soul
Is taught to bear the pain it cannot heal.
But can the spirits boasted strength control
Its first deep sense of loathing, when the seal
Which binds carths scroll of bliss is broken quite,
And all its mocking joys laid open to the sight
Friendship thou hast a music name; hut
Have proved the irailty of thy binding chain
Too soon Pvc learned beneath yon azure SKY,
The prize thou ollcr'st me | seek in vain
Still believe earth holds thy essence pure:
But have weagid following the false lure.
And love, the souls pure incense breath, sent forth
To WOO an idol to its home of thought
I've priced it here at what in heaven It's WORTH
And restless, anxious, though still vainly, sought
An altar where IFS constant, starlike blaze
Could meet with equal warmth my spirits ardent
gaze.
Yet hive not without It's genial power,
But turn with eager worship to the mind
Which fills all things about, me. Each fair flower
Speaks to me words ofove; the murm ring wind
Breathcs 10 my ear as full, az rich a swell
As e'er from lovers lutte on maiden spirit fell.
love TO see the morn as fearful hlushng
She Lids the sun upon his love course start
| love to feel his eye my check flushing
Making my soul of his bright essence part:
love the moons glance OH the sleeping water
For then low voices sigh, eve love thee, carth's
wild daughter" IoSr.
