Comprising the Incidents of the Pantomime. Little 80-Peep was a pretty Shepherdess, residing in that beautiful place called Arcadia. She was a very rood girl, but had one fault; and that was, she would often fall asleep in the day time. when she ought to have been tending her sheep. Met godmother, who was a Fairy, was very angry with her, and tried to correct her, but in vain; till one day, a wolf, who lived in a cavern near this beautiful place, having fallen in love with 80-Peep end been rejected by her, out of revenge resolved to steal her sheep, cut off their tails, and hang them up on a tree to dry. 80-Peep, as usual, having fallen asleep, rendered the stealing of her sheep a very easy matter for the wolf and his companions. While she was sleeping, her god mother showed to her, in a dream, the consequence of laziness ; and then there appeared to her a group of beautiful shepherdesses, who were living and playing, and dancing in a grove of laburnums, and were happy as the days were long, because in their time they had never been idle. When Bo- Peep woke out of this dream she found her sheep had been taken away, so she set out determined to find them; when going along what should she see but the tails of all her poor sheep hanging up, side by side, on a tree to dry. She then met with a cowherd, to whom the wolf had given the charge of her sheep, and with whom she drove a bargain for getting them hack, tails and all. When she had accom plished this, she returned home with them, where, a ss i s t e d by some kindly shepherdesses, she contrived to tack moll of the tails of her poor sheep in its place again. Her lover, Colin, a young shenterd, undertook to watch the flock all night, as 80-Peep Was tired and wanted to go to bed. The sheep being all carefully put into the fold, and watched by Colin, 80-Peep prepared to retire for the night ; but when she had laid down, the wicked wolf appeared to carry her off by force--dragged her out of her bed, and, with the aid o f his companions, conquered Colin, notwithstanding Do-Peep's favourite black Ram, and her dog Lion, came to defend their mistress. In this extremity, she called upon her godmother t' hell, her, who immediately appeared in all her fair glory ; changed Conn into Harlequin, 80-Peep into Columbine, the wicked Wolf into Pantaleon, his Cowherd into Clown. She then told Do-Peep, that if, after twelve months, she would correct herself of going to sleep in the day-time, she would consent to her marriage with Conn. It is needless to add, Little 80-Peep did correct herself—was married to Cohn, and afterwards lived like the other shepherdesses—as happy as the days were long. TRANSFORMATION. Harlequin Mr. Wilson.

"Messieur 800 l my party noombers twenty-three, So get von parcel of good tea — The tea from the—the—Fire—that's the name_ You know vat I do want, so it's all the same." The landlord bowed and nodded an assent, And zo the nearest grocer went : " A half a pound of your best tea ; Give it me strong and flavoured well," said h e. Homeward he bent his joyous way, Thinking he'd make the Frenchman pay. The !fiends all came, and all sat down to tea, Determined to enjoy it merrily; But fate destroyed their hopes: 'tis very sad To tell the tale, but the tea was bad. 'Twas shocking bad, weak, ta , teless stuff, Although the price was high enough. Some tried to smile, but they were few : Gloom spread around the party—all looked blue. The unconscious host around the table Smiled, and served each as well as he was able. When, in a voice which all his friends amazes, Our hero cried, " This tea's not Blase's." The landlord said, " It is not Blase's I confess, But still it cost five shillings—nothing less." The Frenchman cried, " You'll rain me, To give five shillings for such tea, When half as much tea would suffice Of Blase's, and cost half the price." The landlord spoke not—he bowed his head, When Tomkins rose, and thus he said— " This would indeed have been a pleasant treat If we'd had tea from Blase's, Parker-street. Contempt for our host e'en all must utter ; Perchance he don't use Kelly's butter. However, let's be merry, put on smiling faces— When we want TEA we'll go to BLASE'S." Merchant, Parker-street.
