STORY OF THE PANTOMIME.
At that well-known period. " a long time ago," in a count :•}•
village, situate in a remote part of Fancyland, there dwelt :I
prudent pair, who were never at odds. with each other. In
fact, so exemplary were they in their marriage state, that had
the Dunmdw Prize of a Flitch of Bacon been established in
their time, there can be no doubt they would have obtained
it. As it was. they were rewarded for the singularity•Of their
*wedded happiness by having a present of Eggs made them

The reader of these lines will at once exclaim :—" Oh, how
I should like a-Fairy Gift like that !" But Fairy Gifts are only
valuable as the possessors know-how to make a proper use of
them. Riches, without content. are but a source. of ..misery

the tinges, became "Fast Young n." The thirst resembled

THE TRUE HISTORY OF LITTLE 80-PEEP.
Comprising the Incidents of the Penttnnizne.
Little 80-Peep was a pretty Shepherdess, residing in that
beautiful place called Arcadia. She was a very mod girl, but
hat one fault; and that was, she would often fall asleep in
the day-time, when she ought to have been tending her sheep.
Her godmother, who was a Fairy, was very angry with her,
and tried to ccrrect her, but in vain ; till one day, a welt,
who lived ix a cavern near this beautiful place, having fallen
in love with 80-Peep and 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 beef 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 iven the charge of her sheep, and with whom she drove a barggain for getting them back, tails and all. When she had accom-
plished this, she returned home with them, where, assisted
by some kindly shepherdesses, she contrived to tack each of
the tails of her poor sheep in its place again. Her lover,
Colin, a young shepherd, 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 of
his companions, conquered Colin, notwithstanding 80-Peep's,
favourite black Ram, and her dog Lion, came to defend their
mistress. In this extremity, she called upon her godmother
to help her, who immediately appeared in all her fair glory;
changed Colin into Harlequin, 80-Peep into Columbine, the
wicked Wolf into Pantaloon, his Cowherd into Clown. She
then told 80-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 Cohn. It is needless to add,
Little Po-Peep did correct herself—was married to Colin, and
afterwards lived like the other shepherdesses—as happy as the
days were long.
