THE TRITE AMORY OF LITTLE 110•FELII.
Comprigiag, die Incidents of the Pantomime.
Little 80-Peep was a„pretty Shepherdess, residing in that
beautiful planceallddCAteadia. She swag emery good girl, but
hat one fault; and that was, she would often fall asleep in
the day-time, when she ought to-have bben tending her sheep.
lifer 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 a cavern near this beautiful place, having fallen
in love with 80-Peepiand been rejected byher, 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 o f
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 rind 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 back, tails and all. When she had accom-
plished • this,' she returned hone 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 shepnerd, undertook to watch the flock all
Bight, 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 Item, and her dog Lion, came to defend their
mistress. In this extremity, she called upon her godmother
4e help her;'who immediately appeared in all her fair glory;
changed Colin into Harlequin, 80-Peep into Columbine, the
wicked Wolf into Pantalcon, 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 Cohn, and
afterwards lived like the other shepherdpsses—as happy as the
days were long.
