The Motker Of little Iris was not called
Electra, like hers of the old story, neither
/ was her grand father Oeeanus. Her blood
name, which she gave away with her heart to
the Latin tutor, was plain0ld English one,
and her water name was Hannah, beautiful
recalling the mother Of Samuel, and admir-
able as reading equally well from the initial
letter forward and from the terminal letter
backward. The poor lady, seated With her
companies at the chess board cf matrltnong,
had just pushed forth her little white pawn
upon an empty square, when the Black
Knight that cares nothing for castles or
kings or queens swooped down upon her.and
swept her from the larger board ollie
The old LStiu tNtoF put Q modest blue
i. stone d the head OF his LATE companion, with
her name and age and Eheu upon tia
smaller one at her feet withs initials; and
left her by herself, to be rained and showed
on-which is hard thing % do for those
whom we have cherished tenderly.
About the time that the lichens, falling on
the 9 one like drops of-water; had spread in-
10 fair. round rueefses, the tutor had starved

the Latin tutor began the usual course OF
getting better, until he got SO much better
that his face was very sharp, and when he
smiled the three crescent lines showed AT
each side of his lips, and when he spoke ii
ives in a mufied whisper, and the white OF
his eve glistened as pearly as the purest por-
celain-so much better that he hoped-by
sprinc-he- might be able-to--a attend
TO his class again. But he was re
commended not to expose hlmseli,a and to keep
his chamber, and occasionally, not having
any thing to do, his bed The unmarried
sitter with whom he lived took care OF him /;

went on automatically, and murmured, vel

side. and took his hand, which she could not
warm, but which shot its ray OF cold all
through her slender frame. But there she
sat looking steadily at him Presently he
opened ms lips feebly and whispered, mort

bnt she saw there was something sad.
So she began to cry but presently remem-
