A wILFUL CRICKET.
The Fate OF Tiny who Forgot the Requei
of Her Dying Father.

The Fate of Tiny who Forgot the Request
of Her Dying Father.
Slowly but surely Father Cricket was
dying. His children stood around his
bed disconsolate. They were in a Granny
in the wide Fireplace at Sally Days;
the freight flashed in upon them once
and again, like the moonbeams that
flashed so gently without.
"My children" chirped the dying
cricket, don't forget your duty when
am gone"
No" promised the young ones, with
sobbing breath; but tell us, father,
what you would like us to do"
Then the old cricket assigned them
all their different tasks, till the whole
family was disposed of, save one wee
mite, the tiniest of them all--in fact,
she was called Tiny.
"And me, father. what for me?"
piped her shrill voice. She had long
painted for change, this restless little
one.
ITO you. my child" said he, 81 give
the noblest task of all Stay in the old
home, and sing the old song till the
end"
Soon the poor little home-stayer was
left all alone, desolate and sad, in the
silent Granny.
sIiullo, Miss Cricket. Whist IS the
matter?" 1t was Mr.. Spider who asked
the question, peeping slyly round the
corner, as was his won't.
81 am tired of work, at least, such
work as mine" replied Tiny. somewhat
sullxily.
Humble work for little workers."
quoth Mr.. Spider.
GLOW do you know? You never did
a good thing in your life, nor any of
your family, either" Tiny turned up
her nose in disdain-that is, as well as
a cricket can turn up nose.
'sYou are disbclieving little
dradge." and Mr.. Spider went on his
way.
But Tiny. possessed of sudden de-
sire to see the great world, sprang out
of the Granny, knocking over friendly
woodlouse, in her blind haste. On, on
she went until she reached the open
fields. 1t was as she had imagined, gay
with the laughter of the flowers, the
hum of the bees and the chirp of her
merry friends. But at length the frosts
came, and made them all shrink and
shiver As for poor Tiny, one singing
frost took away her voice and her re-
manning energy. When the sun rose,
she revived.
Il shall go back to Sally Days.
have been disobeyfng my fathers last
commands" she faltered, with the sun
shine all around her.
They watched her go: they must not
quit their pOsts-nay, she waved them
back herself. But she was too late; for

A Curious Creature That Disappeared by
 Reason of Plague.

Reason of n Plague.
 One of the nightmares of John Ash toms Curious Creatures of Zoology" is the monk-fish or sea monk, he being in debted to both Aldrovandus and Stow for his account If the old writers are reliable, these monsters were quite common in the North sea, the British channel and along the Irish coast up to the year 1414, when they are said to have become extinct through the ray ages of plague similar to that which was affecting men at about the same time. The superstitious of those days believed that they were priests or monks who had been cursed for some crime and condemned by God to an end less life beneath the waves
 Slows account of one caught in 11S7 is as follows: "He had the shape of a man in all poynts and was kept in the castle at Oxford by the keeper thereof. All manner of raw meats he did gladly cate, but more greedilie of rave tishe, after that he had crushed out all mois- ture. Often he was brought to the church, but showed no signs of rever- ence, and at length, when not well looked to, he stole away to the sea and was never seen again after"
