We announce with great concern the death of JERE-
MhH TowNLEY LoocKERMAN esq., nearly IS years of age
He was born in Annapolis, of most respectable family
and was the grandson of Judge Chase OF Maryland
We lose in Mr.. Loockerman one of our most amiable
citizens. He has been attached to the Union Office as
its chief clerk for the last three years. in which situa
ton it was our good fortune to form his acquaintance
and we can truly say, we never met with man whose
amiable temper, gentemanly manners and high and hon
orable principles more upon esteem and afec.
lions We could specify several facts to attest his
cellent character for nice feelings, immaculate integ
rity, and gentemanly bearing. But forbear He
has left mother and amiable family in Maryland
TO whom may gracious Providence soften the painful
blow which has thus suddenly fallen upon them!

The most beautiful OF all the natural OBJECTS Is
one of our great Western prairies in blossom.-
/, is sea Of flowers, and so pleasant as 10 oe
called Gods Garden:-
THE PRAIRIE.
God formed the world for beauty
And hung ii in The air,
Then clothed il in its loveliness
And called it "good" and fair.
His are FURNISHED Heavens,
With ali their OIbs of light;
He gave the Stars their uslre
That they shed upon the night.
He made the mighty Ocean.
Is grandeur and its grace,
And gave its mystic splendor
As a mirror for His face.
No nober emblem hath He,
No greater, none more free,
No symbol half so touching
As the bounding, mighty Sea.
But oh the blooming Prairie,
Here are Gods foral bowers,
OF all that He hath made on earth
The loveiest are the flowers.
This is The Almighty's garden,
And the mountains, Stars and sea
Are naught compared in beauty
With Gods garden Prairie free.
