TEE TRUE HISTORY OF LITTLE Bel-PEEP.
Comprising, the Incidents of the Pantomime.
Little 80-Peep teas a pretty Stepherdess, residing in.that
beautiful place called Arcadia. S e Was a very ['nod girl, but
hat one faith; and that was, she world often fall asleep in
the daytime. alien she ought to have been tending her sheep.
ker 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 cavera 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
by Oita tree to dry. 80-Peep, as usual, having fallen asleep,
tehdefed the Ittaling 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 of
laziness and then there appeared to her a group of beautiful
shepherdesses, who were living and playing, and dancing in
a ove of laburnums, and were happy as the days were long,
betasse in their time they had never been idle. When Bo-
P!oli Woke ant of this dream she found her sheep had been
taken liiraY, do- the set out determined to find them;
when living along what shoiild she see butt the tails of all
poor sherp haaigiitk 0, tide by, side On a tree to dry.

Wolf had give'n
'I Charge of her sheep, and with whom she, drove a bargain
for getting them bask, 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
the tails of her poor sheep in its place again. Der lover,
Colin, a young shepherd, undertook to watch the sock all
nightfall 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
b force—dragged her out of her bed, and, with the aid of
his companions conquered Colin, notwithstanding Po-Peep's
favourite black 'Ram, and her dog Lion, came to defend their
Mistress. In this extremity, she called upon her godmother
to 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
sorreet herself of going to sleep in the day-time, she would
cooseln to her marriage with Colin. It is needless to add,
Little 80-Peep disf correct herself—was married to Colin, and
afterwards lived like the other shepherdesses—as happy as the
days were long.
