their time, there can he 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
by a Good Fairy: It must not be imagined that these Eggs
were simply Eggs, to be eaten and then thrown away. No:
these Eggs were Fairy Eegs, all made of Gold, and possessed

" Poor and content is rich anti rich enough'"
It is not to he surprised, from this digr9ssioN,that,,the old

THE TRUE DISTORT OP LITTLE 80-PEEP.
Comprising the Incidents of the Pantomime.
; Little Bo'-Peepill_ was a pretty Shepherdess, residing in that
ar4 railed Arcadia. she •ttlt If very ^and girl, but
hat one fault; and that was, she would often fall asleep in
the day-tiros. when she ought to have been tending bee shoe!).
Rer godmother, whip was a Fairy, was very angry with her,
and tried to correct her, but .in vain; till one day, a wolf,
`who lived in 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
hp 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 comparrotta. While she was sleeping, her god-
mother showed to her, in a dream, the consequence of
laziness; and theft 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,
becaftee 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
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 worn-.
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 shonnerd, 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, Ito-Peep prepared to retire for the night ; • but when
she bad 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 ,eztremity, she called upon her godmother
to help her, who immediately appeared in all her fair glory
;-
changed Colin into Ilarlequin,. 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 Colin. It is needless to.) add,
Little 80-Peep did correct herself—was married to Colin, and
afterwards lived like the other shepherdessea—as happy as' the
days were long. •
