The present record for 25 miles on the

Isle of Champagne.

One of the most interesting theatrical
announcements for the Easier season is the
engagement of Thomas S. Seabrooke aud
his celebrated Comic opera ompany in the
elsie of champagne at the Academy of
Music, Baltimore, for the week beginning
Monday March 26.h.
No more brilliant success has been OBJ
tanned for many years that achieved by Mr.
Seabrooke in delightfully."- quaint and
humorous impersonation of the character
of King Pommery Second, the exalted
ruler of the isle of Champagne" whose
inhabitants are supposed to have been
ignorant of the use of water as beverage
until accident opens their eyes to its luYuri
GUS advantages. The story of the opera is
amusing and wholly original, and the
scenes and action admit of great freedom
of design on the part of the artist. The
Isle of Champagne" overlooked by geogra
pliers, lies upon the billowy bosom of a sea
of the choicest vintage, wine spouts from
its springs and courses in rivulets through
this paradise. There is no water, not even
for stock purposes, in this very tight little
isle" Ii fire broke cut the local depart
ment wet it down with a stream OF golden
| fizZ and the laundry work is done by
l means of the same plentiful fluid.

''Of such is the kingdom Of Heaven"
This darling one to earth awhile given,
With her pure heart and soulful eyes,
She belonged to the realms OF Paradise.
With her pretty face and baby ways.
That brought us joy through all the days.
We little thought that oh, so soon,
We'd have but memory in every room.
We will see her now when the light is dim,
And It's time to sing the evening hymn;
In every hour, in every place.
Wen a lways see our darling face.
In all the years that are yet to come,
We know cur child will never roam,
But still our hearts sore sorrow feel,
That only God in Heaven can heal.
And in that tine when all is right.
Wen see her where there is no night,
Where all our tears are wiped away
In Joy and love and endless day.
