STORY OF Tilt PANTOMIME.
At that well-known period, " a long that, ago 3' in a country
village, situate in a remote part of Fantyland, there clitselt a
prudent pair, wbo were nerer tit odds With each Otift. to
fact, so exemplary were they in their marritigt tstate, that had
the Daninow Prize of a Flitch of Bacon been established in
their time, there can by 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 Egrrs r•-• -
by a Good Fairy. It must not he irr•—• --.drte them

good genius wrote—

"Poor and content, isrich and rich enough."
It is not to be surposcd, from this digression, that the old
couple in question made a bad' use of their Golden Eggs—far
from it. They were as exemplary in prosnerity as they had
been in adversity; but a new generation rprana. up, and they
had Three Granf.sons—two of them, adopting the manners of
the ti'scs. became "Fast Young M. n." The thirst resembled
his Grandfather, and was considered by hia brothers " rather
slow."

Now, how these young men became sharers in ,theit Grand-
fathe 's hairy Gifts—bow they acted wisely or otherwise in
the disposal cf them—is all set forth in the opcfling of this
Christmas Pantomime.

Little 80-Peep was h pretty Shepherdess, residing in that

the day. time, when she ought to have been tending her sheep.

a grove.of laburnums, and were happy as the days were long,
because in their time they- had, never been idle. When 80.

taken away, so she • set hut determined to find thtth 1
when going along what should she see but the tails of all
her poor sheep banging 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 arootre•

Colin, a young shepnerd, .undertook to watch the flock all

sheep being all carefully (put into the:fold, and watched by
Colin, 110-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 Itr dog Lion, came to defend their
mistress. In this extremity, she called .upon her godmother
to help her, who immediately appeared in all het' fait' glory ;
ehanged Colin into Harlequin; 80-Peep into t)oltfinhine, the
Wicked Wolf into Pantaleon, hit Cowherd into Clown. She
then told 80-Peep, that If, aftbr ffeli•e itiontha," she would

Little 80-Peep did certeet herself—was married to Colin, and
