LITTLE 80-PEEP;

HARLEQUIN AND THE GIRL WHO LOST HER SHEEP.

Vie Scenery of the Pantomime painted by Mr. George

the Dances arranged. by Miss Dramah and Miss M'Ginty; the

THE TRUE HISTORY OF LITTLE 80-PEEP.
Comprising the Incidents of the Pantomime.
Little Dos Peep was a pretty Shepherdess, residing in that
Vatitiltil place called Arcadia. She was a very eood girl, but
til one fault and that was, she would often fall asleep in
the day-time, when she ought to have been tending her sheep.
lier godmother, Who was a Fairy, was very angry with her,
and tried to eotreet her, but in vain; till one day, a wolf,
who lived is a eatern heat this beantifel place, having fallen
in love with tie.reep and been rejected by her, out of revenge
revolted 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 of
laciness ; 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 eat of this dream she found her sheep had been
taken away, so she set out determined to rind them ;
when going along *hat 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 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 shcpnerd, 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, 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 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
correct herself of going to sleep in the day-time, she wquld
consent to her marriage with Cohn. It is needless to add,
Little 80-Peep did correct herself—was married to Colin, and
afterwards lived like the other shepherdesses—as happy as the
days were long.
