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 dwelt a
prudent pair, who were never at odds with each other. In
'act, so exemplary were they in their marriage state, that had
the Dunmow Prize of a Flitch of Bacon been established in
their time, there can be no doubt they would have obtained
kt. .As it,wat, they were rewarded for the singularity of their
Vapiiiiies 110111,4 Vr6g6nt, (if

these Eggs were Fairy Eggs, all inn e t f Gblni and twtglsed
this singular property---that whoever was the owner tlf them
could have whatever he asked for, by simply throwing one on
the ground and breaking it.
The reader of these lines will at once exclaim:—" Oh, how
I should like a Fairy Gift like that!" But Fairy Gifts are only
'Citable as the possessors know how to make a proper use of
theft.. Itiehes, without content, are but a sotirce of misery
god ; Might be better to be poor, for as a great
elnfl f;efiltlN

,11;;;i and content,. Is rich and rich enough."
It is not to be supposed, from thia digression. that the old
couple in question made a bad use of their 0614611 Eggs—far
from it. They were as exemplary in prosperity as they had
been in adversity; but a new ,-eneration sprang up, and they
had Three Grandsons—two of them, adopting the manners of
the times, became Vast Ttittut le.k" The third resembled
his Grandfather; dnd wig Congidered by big brothers " rather
slow."

THE TRUE HISTORY OF LITTLE 80-PEEP.
Comprising the Incidents of the Pantomime.
Little 80-Peep was a pretty Shepherdess, residing in that
beautiful place called Arcadia. She was a very eood girl, but
hail 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 Correct her, but in vain; till one day, a wolf,
who lived is a caters hear this beautiful place, having fallen
111 love with to-Peep end been rejected by her, out of revenge
resolved to steal her cheep, ettt off their tails, and hang them
Up en a tree to art lity-Peep, as usual, having fallen asleep,
remitted the *dealing of her sheep a very easy matter for the
'wolf said hill Companions. While she was sleeping, her god-
Maher showed to her, in a dream, the consequence of
le Aflame ; 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
Elbe then
her Poor sheep hanging up, side by side, on a tree to dry.
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 home with them, where, assisted
by some kindly shepherdesses, she contrived to tack each of
theins tails of her Poor sheep in its place again. Her lover,
W a Young ehepnerd, undertook to watch the flock all
night, as 80-Peep was tired and wanted to go to bed. The
cheep being all carefully put into the fold, and watched by
Colin, Bo- Peep prepared to retire for the night ; but when
/by she had laid down, the wicked wolf appeared to carry her off
force---dragged her out of her bed, and, with the aid of
his companions, conquered Colin, notwithstanding 80-Peep's
favehrlte black Rain, and her dog Lion, came to defend their
mistress. In this extremity, she called upon her godmother
is 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 h
erseelf of going to sleep in the day-time, she would
consent her marriage with Colin. It is needless to add,
Little 80-Peep did correct beraelf—was married to Colin, and
afterwards lived like the other tshepherdesses—as happy as the
days were long.
