Ncllio Vnllanco walked out of tlio little church in P with a prouil step and a J ight heart j she had just become Mrs. Lloyd Whitlow. The husband was fine-looking. moral, Intelligent, jiossessing friends where ever he choso to make them, and wns con sidered tho most popular man in tho tdwn Nellio was n jirctty little creature, with an innocent face, and a smooth, round, white brow, and light waves of fair hair, which with her clinging, childlike ways, inado of her an indescribably charming bride. They made tho bridal tour, mid settled down in Louisville, a vciy happy couple ct, ere two months had passed nway, the little wife eat over her untastcd breakfast with tearful eyes and pouting lips, giig veil', nt last to a torrent of tears. "What in tho world is tho matter?" in quired Cousin Kato from across the tablo "I I believo Lloyd is getting tired of mo." answered Nellie, sobbing. "iN'onsensc, Nell ; you always were such a sensitive plant I I can't seo that vou havo any cause to mako such an assertion." "But I havo; this is tho second morning he has gono oil' without kissing me, and and Enough more to mako me know he docs not love mo as ho did." " 'ou ought to remember that your hus band is ono of thoso who attach little im porlancc to outward show of airection. I am sure he docs not love you less because lie forgets those little lovcr-liko attentions, winch, after all, aro of little consequence when one is sure of a husband's affections. "But I am not at all sure that is just it. And this Very day I am going to begin to test his ldvo for mo; if I can succeed in making him jealous I'll believo ho loves tile." 'rtalher a, difficult gaiiic to play, Cousin Kell ; how are you going to do is?" "Olij it's easy enough. You remcirtbcr Albert Weston 1 Ho is practicing law hen in Louisville. I believe.that ho possesses enough of tho old hflectloh foV me, aikl just about little principle enough to mako him useful in this matter. His manner when I halo met him has annoyed tno beyond Measure. I'll mako use of it now." "Well, Mrs. Nellio Whitlow, all I havo to say is, that you will very likely regret tho tiny you planned this foolish little game." To this N'cllio only answered. "I'll writo this minute and accept his in vitation to drive this evening." Lloyd Whltlofr was hCmo that night bo fore Nellio relumed. When at last she did come she was in high spirits, giving as a reason, when her husband rallied her upon the fact, that sho hud had "such a glorious drive witli her old lover." ''Look out, liltld wife," he said, with a laugh, "you threw that 'old lover' over for me; don't go to throwing mo over for him.' "Oh, stranger things havo happened 1" sho answered. Tin's conversation ended in making tho husband unusually quiet arid tho wife un usually gay. "Darling," Lloyd said, laying down his book ono evening, about a month after ward, "are you acting discreetly in receiv ing Mr. Weston hero as often as you do?" " I hope so, Lloyd." "Well," ho said, leaning over and look ing in his wife's eyes, "ona ought not to cans for old lovers, I suppose, when ono is euro that lie is the only lover now." -h I" thought Ncllio ho is waking up at last." But sho answered with alight laugh, 'don't you bo too euro of that." He resumed his book immediately, and looked very grave, while the light danced in Nellie's eyes as she tald to herself, " I be lieve my plan Will Bticcced I" "Nellie," Said her Cousin Kate; as she entered the Jiarlor hurriedly, a few Weeks later, and interrupted her in tho midst of nn old love sottgi while Mr. Wcstou was bending over her nt tho piano, "excuse my troubling you, but I must seo you a moment." Weston took out his watch, said he ought lo havo been gone half hour ago, bade them good evening, aud left. "Well, Katie, what is it ? What are you looking so frightened about. "Nellie Whitlow, you havo gone far enough in your 'testl' As I came in the front door, Lloyd passed me going out. I never saw such a look on a man's face Ho camo from tho back parlor and must havo heard all you said. Oh, Nell, what did you 6ay that caused him to leave looking like that? Did you know he was there?" "01 course 1 did j but Weston did not, and Lloyd did not know that I knew it. So I concluded to finish up my task this evening! 1 nut not commit myself, either; I only let Weston talk his nonsense without rebukinir him. So, if you think Lloyd is really Jealous, I'll stop; for I am very tired of it, ana to-night I'll tell him all about it and laugh at him. I do believo ho lovca mo now, Kate; and I am not a bit sorry for what i nave done." "You may be; before you are throuch. tloyd Whitlow, is not a man to bo trifled with, as I havo told you dorens of times; but you would have you own way. mat evening, tho wife who had prom ised herself so much happiness in confessing all to her husband, was walking tho floor, back and rdith; her lips wero quivering, tier hands working ncrvouSly, and lier faco was as whito aud as woebegone as threo Hours of suspense and agony could mako it. Lloyd had not returned. Tho clock struck twelve. With tho first chiirio sho threw Herself proslrato upon tho floor. "Oh, my love, my darling I" sho cried; "sd generous, so ready to shield me, how can I livo without you ? And you aro gone goilo away, believing mo guilty! Oh, how utterly wasted will my life bo without you I" She lay thero until morning, weeping convulsively U intervals, and choking with the flood of sorrow and remorse. And then another thought took ises5ion of her. Suppose sonio hafrtt hd come to him I Sho could endure his reproi'ches, his desertion, even, but never the sight of hint Wounded or dead for her sake. Shb Would bear her suspenso nolonger.shesaldi shocoilld know tho wont by going to h is oflke 4ml question ing tho clerks, and go sho would. Beforo she reached tho street a Servant handed her a letter. " Left hero for you this morning, ma'am." Nellio retraced her steps hurriedly, and with trembling fingers opened her husband's note. It was written tho evening before. "I am going down the- river for a few days, to stay until Iconcludo how toarrnngo affairs between us. I shill take steps to give you back your freedom. Until then; try to act discreetly." That was all not eVen a reproach, believ ing of her what ho did j only cilld, constrain ed wools. And tho bitter part to her was, that sho knew her husband's forbearance grew out of his great lovo for her. A week passed j she never wantcit to re member how. " Have you heard from Mr. Whitlow ?" she asked ngain df his clerk, as she had done every day since lio left. "Yes; jUSt received A letter. Ho is at Ilea Ven worth." Kolllo turned aWdy With a "Thank yod,' and a lighter heart than she had known for many a day. Sho decided instantly to go to him, believing lllat shecdUld make all right if iVi could only seo hint. Tour o'clock found her tn rdilfc fdr Iho villago on tho Ohio, on board the Steamer Gray Eagle. Thero was.au excursion party on board for tlio sanlo place, from whence they wcro go ing to Wyhudctto Cave. Many of her ac quaintances were in the party, and among tliem was Weston, flu arrivins at Leaven- worth she foilinl that her husband had cono on ciown uio river, out would return in a day or two. Her friendi urged her to join! their party. Shownswillihgtodoanything to pass away tho time that must elapse be-, foro her husband came, so went with them lo explore the renowned cave. They had not been gono ait hour When Lloyd Whitlow returned to Leavellworth. Learning that one of the party just gono had been anxious to seo him, started after them on horseback, littlo thinking that his wifo was of the party, yet faintly hoping that ho would hear frollt her. Ho overtook them just as they had arrived at Blue river. Ho was astonished at seeing his wifo there, ami only recognized her by a distant bow. Ho supiioscd that Weston's presenco was tho cause of hers. The fordiilg-placo was a littlo high now from recent rdins; tho water was muddy, too, so ono could not see tho bottom, which right there was a level rock extending across tho stream, and was several vards Wide, but which had an offset of a number of feet; yet in tlio muddy, high water It was safe enough if ono kept one's eyo on tho roadat theothcr side and drove straight for it. Lloyd was going over last, so Nellie wait ed purjiosely to go in tho last buggy load. They were not half over beforo the horse, freightened at tho splashing of the water be hind it, reared, plunged, upset tho buggy in tho deep water, and left tho driver and Nol le in a fair way to bo drowned. The driver helped himself; Lloyd was at Nellie's sido n an instant. To Nellie, the chill of tho water seemed iko the visible presence of death. Sho did not scream; she- believed she should drown, nd the only pang to her was tho thought that she would die Unreconciled to her hus band. But tho thought had scarcely becomo one ere tho strong arms and nerves of Lloyd Whitlow had saved her. His heart went out to her when ho caught sightof her blood less toco turned so besccchitlgly toward him. They stood alonoou tholfdgoofrocksin tho middle of tho water. Nellie sko first " Lloyd," sho said, "you will forglvo me. I am not sa guilty as you euilitosO; I lovo you, so I camo down here to find you, Aud oh, Lloyd," as sho saw his faco softening to ward her, "you do lovo me; too ; you cannot say no I" Ho laid his hand over the littlo fingers qiiivcring bo piteously; remembered him self, and drew awayi His voice was hard as he raid: " I might havo listened to you, and bo lievcd an explanation possible; if I bad not found you with him to-day." "Then why did you not let me die?" she moaned. "Why did you save my life to torture me?" And she commenced sobbing. " Woman, this Is acting. Havo dono with it I" was tho husband's only answer. Iter excited sabs camo faster. A gleam ofjlity canlo into his eyes; ho hurried with her lo tho shbro, wrnpiwd her in shawls pro vided by tho company, placed her in a car riago and told tho driver to hurry with her to tho hotel, six miles distant; ho would fcillow oh horscbdek. As ho put her out his arms, her great plctutinccves wcro turn od toward him, searching for somo look of nllcctioii, sonio faint recognition of all th she had been to him. But finding nolle; Hi anguish of her disappointment broko forth in a single word "Llovd I" To his dying day ho never forgot that cry, A slight quiver about tho mouth, a swift quailing of tho eyo wcro all tho signs ho gavo that lie heard her. Sho knew that a was over between them. Ono thought took possession of her; to net so that the com pany would suspect nothing. So sho do clared herself restored upon their arrival at tho hotel; and insisted upon going with the party into the cave. At ono o'clock they started, with lighted Canutes and guides. Weston kept near Nel no, vi inflow was here, there; everywhere II) h ! leronto interested at Idat in somo magnificent stalactites and his p.trty got far aneaci ol mm. He discovered this and hur ried after them. He could seo tiieir lights in tne uistunee. When nearly up to them Ins candle went out. Ho went sauntering along until lio camo within hearing of tho two nearest him, and recognized his wife and Weston. " You cannot deny," Weston was savini?. "that you havo encouraged mo to think that yotl cared for me, Nellie, and, by heaven you shall not say mo hay 1' 1 confess to having dono wrong. I was 60 afraid I did not possess my husband whole heart, that I determined to test his lovo for nio by trying to makohim jealous. bo you mado a cat's paw of tne I Very kind of you. May I ask what prompted you io select mo ?' "Beeausoyou were respectablo enough in mo eyes or tho world to mako it look rigid, and you wcro unpiincipled enough to make it practicable, and heartless enough to have no feelings in tho matter." " Then you love your husband ?" "Lovo him? I idolize him I I would give my life to occupy thoplaco in his heart I did a month ago. I lovo him so well that I cannot Imagine how heaven call bo heaven to mo without him I" " That is enough, Mrs. Whitlow. I bo- liovc that you will enjoy yourself more in his company than in mine; so I will stcn aueau and send lum back to you. Weston went on, when out of tho darkness a pair of arms eiicircled her. Nellio looked up, terror-stricken, and saw tho f.icoofher husband, wearing so different a look, that sho knew lie iiad heard all. Nellie, darling, you uro my own pure ' w""e "or all, but you wcro very, very in uiscroct " I was trying to mako you jealous." -Ann you succccueii with a vengeance. I never thought my lovo needed that trial." " But yo'j nclcd so dill'ercntly from what you did before we were married." " I was your lover then, Nellie." " Yes,Lloyd," she said, as 6ho clurig closer to mm; "and you aro infinitely moro to nio now you ore my husband." " I believo i understand you," ho said; with a smile. "What you ask is easily given; supposb I coinmcrico now," and Lloyd Whitlow clasped his littlo wifo lo his breast and nearly covered her with kisses. "Thank Cod, Lloyd, that wo onco more understand each other 1 I will repay you the paiu I havo coit you by a life-lime of devotion. " Which t must encourago by a little let ting now and then, eh?" " Yes, Lloyd, please." That excursion party thought lb the morning thot Mr. and Mrs. Whitlow wero tho most matter-of-fact brido and groom they ever saw; butconcluded in thocvcnlng that they were tlio most devoted. Nellie's advico lo newly married wives is "don't test your husband's love." Unintentional Suicides: Dr. It. S. Tracy, in Popular Science, for July, says: Drowning and hanging, then, aro painless modes of dying, becauso the asphyxia which causes death is complicated by other cicumstances, which render tho dying man so soon unconscious that the pangs of suffocation aro unfelt; Aud the insensibility which results from hanging is so insidious and painless in its approach, that experiments on tho subject aro very dangerous for any ono to mako alone. It's prnbablo that many persons, who are sup posed to havo committed suicide in this way, had really no intention of bringing about their own death. Somo havo been led, like, tho two gentlemen mentioned by Morgagni, to try tho experiment out of curi osity. Others may have done it outof pique. Itis Hot impossible, nor porha improbable that hlgli-spitited boys or girls after a de grading punishment, should rush off.nswe read of their doing, and hang themselves. The child puts a cord around his neck aud steps Oil' from a chair, oxeting to lie fol lowed, found choking, aud released by the anxious parents. If ho is not followed and bis absence not noticed nothing can l easier for him than to step up oa the cbur again, loosen the rope; and rio one will ever know of his folly. In tho first case ho would obtain his childish revengo for tho wrong ho had received, and in tho second placo ho Wotlld lose, nothing,! for ha is hl3 only occomplico.

Cyprus. The island of CyprUs.which faord licaconj field has so cleverly acquired and welded into the chain connecting Europe and India; the other links whereof are Gibraltar.Maltu, the Suez Canal and Alden, is the most east ern island of tho Mediterranean, being bnly sixty-fivo miles from tho Syrian coast ; od tho tiortll it approaches to within forty-four miles of Asia Minor. It3 length Si about ono hundred and forty miles, and breadth from fifteen, at tlio northeastern extremity, to forty, tho total area being 3,078 square miles. Tho population is estimated at 200, OOOsouU, of whoill Jicrhaps two-thirds aro Greeks, the remainder being Ottomans,Jews; Catholics, Marollltcs and Armenians. Hith erto it has fornlbd part of the vilayet of tho islands of tlio Mbilitemulean, having as its capital Nicosia.Whcre resides the Archbishop; through his title is Motrojiolilan of Constaa tia. Since the council of Ephesus in 431 hd has retained his independence of any patri arch, and tho Church of Cyprus forms oneof the 1 ndependont groups into which tho G rce! Church is divided. Cyprus early belonged to the Phonicians of tlio neighboring coast; then it was colo nized by the Greeks, aud became tho seat of several independent kingilonis; then it passed urider tho power successively of tho Pharaohs, Persians, Ptolemies and Romans; excepting n short period of independence under Evagdras in tho fourth century B.

Aftera6icgo marked by prodigies bf valor and immense slaughter, tho Turks took the island 307 years ago,and have held it ever since, except during thd period of isd2 -Id, when thb Viccfoy of Egypt administered its affairs. Tho island Is fertilo and rich, though tha frequent drought shrin ksitsprincipal stream, the Pedia, to n mere rill and coinjicls the in habitants, tho waters of tho Wells being brackish, td have rcc'oiirso td cisterns.

Among tho vegs tablo productions aro fruits; colton, tobacco; dyewood and drugs; silk is also produced; and wine. In old times tho wine of lbs Commanderia, a vineyard taking its nnmo from tho Knights of Malta, crijoyed a wida fame, but as tho population has fallen off from 1,000,000 in Venetian times to its present low figure, so tho wino production lias fallen off from 2,000,000 gallons to 200, 000.
