MOOSE’S MURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL, LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
I DEATH OF THE FLOWERS. 
BY WM. C. BRYANT. 
Tee melancholy days are come, 
The saddest of the year, 
Of wailing winds and naked woods, 
And meadows brown and sere ; 
Heaped in the hollows of the grove 
The withered leaves lie dead— 
They rustle to the eddying gust, 
And to the rabbit’s tread. 
The robin and the wren are flown, 
And, from the shrub, the jay, 
And from the wood-top calls the crow, 
Through all the gloomy day. 
Where are the flowers, the fair young flowers, 
That lately sprung, and stood, 
In brighter light and softer airs, 
A beauteous sisterhood? 
Alas ! they all are in their graves, 
The gentle race of flowers ; 
And lying in their lowly bed, 
With the fair and good of ours. 
The rain is falling where they lie, 
But cold November rain 
Calls not from out the gloomy earth, 
The lovely ones again. 
The wild flower and the violet, 
They perished long ago, 
And the wild rose and the orchis died 
Amid the summer’s glow ; 
But on the hill the golden rod, 
And the aster in the wood, 
And the yellow sun-flower by the brook, 
In aut umn beauty stood, 
Till fell the frost from the clear cold heaven, 
As falls the plague on men ; 
And the brightness of their smile was gone 
From upland, glade, and glen. 
And now, when comes the calm, mild day. 
And still such days will come, 
To call the squirrel and the bee 
From out their winter home— 
When the sound of dropping nuts in heard, 
Though all the trees are still, 
And twinkle in the smoky light 
The waters of the rill; 
The south wind searches for the flowers 
Whose fragrance late he tore, 
And sighs to find them in the wood 
And by the stream no more. 
And then I think of one who in 
Her youthful boauty died— 
The fair, meek blossom that grew up 
And faded by my side ; 
In the cold, moist earth we laid her, 
When the forest cast the leaf, 
And we wept that one so lovely 
Should have a life so brief; 
Yet not unmeet it was, that one 
Like that young friend of ours ; 
So gentle and so beautiful, 
Should perish with the flowers.

I .THE MILL PRIVILEGE; 
OR, BOW MR. T. OYEE-BEACHED HIMSELF. 
la one of the new towns of Maine, some 
thirty years ago, lived a man named John 
Tatnall. He was a close fisted, digging man 
and never scrupled to make the best end of a 
bargain at all points within the limits of writ¬ 
ten law. He never hesitated to make capital 
of other people’s necessities, and any event 
that-could put a dollar into his till wa 3 all 
right to him. 
Once a neighbor lost a fine ex just at the 
time when he was in the act of fulfilling a 
contract for cuttirg down and hauling out Um¬ 
ber. The contract was worth a thousand dol¬ 
lars, and he wa3 to forfeit one-half of it if he 
did not have all the logs in the river before 
the snow melted in the spring. The loss of 
his best ox would ruin him if he could not 
make his place good. He knew that Tatnall 
had plenty of oxen, and he went to him and 
| stated his case. Now John Tatnall had a 
i number of odd oxen which ho had bought to 
1 place in a drove which he meant to drive to 
market; so he could have sold one just as well 
as not. But he saw his neighbor’s necessity, 
and he meant to profit by it. He would not 
sell unless he could sell a pair, and not then 
without an enormous price. The poor lum¬ 
berman begged and entreated, but it wa 3 of 
no avail. There was not another ox to be 
bought for miles and miles about, for Mr. Tat¬ 
nall had bought them all up. The neighbor 
could not allow his work to lie still, so he paid 
Tatnall full double what they were worth, and 
took them away. 
Then it was he happened to think of his odd 
ox. He knew it was better by far, than 
either of those he had bought of Tatnall, and 
he drove it over to the cattle dealer’s to sell 
it, as he had no use for it. Tatnall offered 
him twenty dollars for it—just one-fifth of 
what he had obtained for the yoke he had sold ! ' 
We will not tell the conversion and bantering 
that followed, but suffice it to say that Tat- ] 
nail got the ox, and that in the end he made a < 
profit of just seventy-fire dollars off his poor < 
and hard-workiEg neighbor. 
That was the character of the man, and all < 
| the neighbors knew it. Yet he was respected, 
for he had money, and many people depended i 
on him for work, though their pittance for 
such work was beggarly in the extreme. Mr. 
Tatnall’s farm was situated upon a large river, 
and he owned to a great extent on both sides h 
of it. _ When he bought there he had some 
faint idea that at some time there would be a s 
mill put up there, and thus greatly enhance fi 
the value of his lot, for there was quite a fall y 
in the river where he owned, and a most ex- t 
cellent mill privilege was thus afforded. But 
he never could build the mill for he had not n 
the money to spare, nor had he the energy.— y 
About two years previous to the opening of 
our story, some men had come to examine the 
river, and they talked some of buying and 
building extensive mill works. Tatnall knew h 
that if such were done, the value of all the 
good land about him would be advanced, and tr

I THE ILLINOIS CENTEAL P,. R, COMPANY. 
Is now prepared to sell over two millions of acres 
of selec’ed 
PRAIRIE, FARM AND WOOD LANDS, 
In Tracts of 40 Acres and Upwards, 
To suit purchasers, on long credits and at low rates of 
interest. 
They were granted by the Government to encouraco 
the builuing of this Railroad, which runs from the ex¬ 
treme noith 10 tho extreme south of the State ot Illinois 
Ita psses, from end to end, through the richest and most 
fertilo Prairies of tho State, dotted hero and there with 
magnificent Oak Grovos. The recent opening of neariv 
600 miles of this road throws open the lands lor cultiva- 
tieu. They are scattered from one to fifteen miles on 
each side of it, through its entiro length. 
Tho soil is a dark, rich mould, from one to flvofeet in 
depth, is gontly toiling, and peculiarly fitted for grazing 
caa.e and sheep, and the cultivation of wheat, Indian 
corn, &c. 
The first crop of Indian corn planted on the nowlv 
bioken prairie, usually pays the cost of plowing and 
sometimes fencing. Wheat town on new turned sod is 
sure to yield very large profits. One man with a plow 
and two yoke of oxen will break one nnd a half to two 
acres per day. Contracts can be made for breaking 
ready for corn or wheat, at $2 to $2,50 per acre Bv 
judicious management farms may bo broken and fenced 
the first, and under a high state of cultivation the sec¬ 
ond year. 
The larger yield on the cheap lands of Illinois over 
h gh-priced lands in tho Eastern and Middle States is 
known to bo much more than sufficient to pay tho differ¬ 
ence of transportation to the Eastern market. The rapid 
increase and growth of flourishing towns and villages 
aloi g the line of this road afford a growing home do 
maud for farm produce. 
Coal and wood are delivered along the road at differ 
ent points, at from $1,59 to $4 the cord or tun 
Parties having in view Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska or 
Minnesota for their futui 0 homes, should take into con¬ 
sideration that the country wost of tho Mississippi is 
lestitute of railrotds ; th.it the conveniences of trans¬ 
porting grain and produce from farms ou the line of tho 
ilinois Central Railroad direct to the great Eastern irar- 
cet, is Buffloiont of itse f to pay the investment at from 
>10 to $lo per acre higher than in government lands in 
owa. In other words, that it costs so much more to 
;et produce from tho interior of the country west of tho 
lissjssippi to the Eastern market, and the farmer will 
Ind it much more profitable to locate on tho line of this 
allroad. 0 
PRICK AND TERMS OP PAYMENT. 
The price will vary from $5 to $26, according to lo- 
atiou, quality, &c. Contracts for deeds may be made 
urlng the year 18 5, stipulating the purchase money to 
e paid in five annual in.-taimenta—the first to bororno 
ue in two years from date of contract the others annu¬ 
ity thereafter. The last payment will become due at 
no end of the sixth year from dato cf contract. 
t i 1 f,wu d T- t ? cl * 0U (ke tbe Legislature, ap- 
toved llth February, 1S51, those lands are free from 
oration until they are paid for, and a deed of convev- 
nce gt anted to the purchaser. 
-XTKKI&I WILL B* CHARGED AT ONLY TWO PFR CENT. TER 
ANNUM. 
As a Becurity for the performance of the contract the 
rst two years’ interest rnunt be paid in advance but it 
.ust bo understood that one-tenth of the land purchased 
lall yearly be brought under cultivation. I.ongor 
edits at six por cent, per annum may he negotiated 
t special application. Twenty per cent, from tho crcd- 
price will bo deuuctcd for cash, in which case tho 
impany s Coustructiou Bonds will bo received as cash. 
It is bolieved that tho price, long crodlt, and low rates 
interest chargod for these lands, will euable a man 
ith a low hundred dollars in each, and ordiuary Indus- 1 
y, to mako himself independent before all the purchase 1 
oney becomes duo. In the mean time the rapid Bet- 1 
)ment ol the country will probably have increased *

ition and aid in selecting lands. {
