STORY OF THE PANTOMIME.
At that well-known period, "a long time ago," in a country
village, situate in a remote part of Fancyland there dttelt a
prudent pair, who were never at odds

, The tender of these lines 'sill at once exclaim :—" Oh, how
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

anq good genius wrote—
" Poor and content is rich and rich enough."

`rim TRUE HISTORY OF LITTLE BO.PEEP.
Comprising the Incidents of. the Pantnininie.
Little 80-Peep was a pretty Shepherdess, residing in that
beautiful plate called Arcadia. She was a very goOd girl, biit
bai one fault; and that was, she would often fall asleep in
the iity-time, when she ought to have been tending btr sheep.
Ifer godmother, who was a Fairy, was very :angry with her,
and tried to correct her, but in vain' till one day, a wolf,
Vtio lived is a cavern near this beautiful place, having fdllen
In love with 80-Peep and been rejected by her, cent of revenge
resolved to steal her sheep, cut cff their tails, and liang them
up on a tree to dry. 80-Peep, as usual, hating falltn asleep,
rendered the stealing of her sheep a very east matter for the
wolf and his compan:ons. While she was sleeping, her god-
mother showed to her, in a dreatit, 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 reit long,
because in their time they had never been Idle. When Bo-
Prep 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, aide by side, on a tree to drys
She then met with a cowherd, to whom the wolf had given
the charge of her sheep, and with whom she drovt a bargain
for getting them back, tails and all. When she had accom-
plished this, she returned home with them, where, assisted
y
some kindly shepherdesses, she Contrived to tack each of
the tls poor sheep in its place again. Her lover,
Colin, a young shapnerd, 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; -Mato
she had laid down, Ihe.wicked wolf appeared to carry her eff
force--ftragged her out of her be
his 'companions, conquered Colin,nclendn-ithasntdandwirT Do-Paetedpo'sf
favourite black Raul, and her dc>g
to defend their
rni,,teess. In this extremity, she tailed' urantoi
heer godmother
to help her, who immediately appeared int) changed Colin into Harlequin 80-Peep into r lair
Columbine
, the
ory ;
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 Colin. It is needless to add,
Little 80-Peep did correct herself—was married to Colin, and
afterwards lived like the other she marred
happy as the
ere long.
