THE TESTOP LOVE-.
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'

"Beeausoyou were respectablo enough in

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

I did a month ago. I lovo him so well that
I cannot Imagine how heaven call bo heaven

Weston went on, when out of tho darkness
a pair of arms eiicircled her. Nellio looked
up, terror-stricken, and saw tho f.icoofher

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. But tho laws of naturo
aro too stent. Utterly ignorant of his dan
ger, and intending only a prank of ctiildisli
folly, ho steps fiom his chair into eternity.
Such a possibility should mako Us charitable,
and in cases of suicido by hniigiHglead us to
remember that, although the caso may bo
evidently oho of 'suicide; alid the hanging;
plainly Intentional, h'everlh'elesi tho death
has betll Uiidesircd and unlocked for.
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. C;
Hero was ono of the chief seats on the wor
ship of VenUs, as tho name Cypria will re
mind tlio reader; Taphos and Sulamis wcro
among its failious cities of old time. Tho
Crusaders reft it from tho Greek Emperor
arid mado itakitigdom forGuy of tillllgnan,
whoso descendant lost it td thb Yellbtlans;
the cmployers,3 readers of SUakttjlchro will
racall, of Othello. 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. Min
erals abound; iiicluding copper and precious
stones, though tho mines havo hither
to been sadly neglected. 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. There Is sonic demand in Egypt.though
nono in Europe, for tho common red and
black wines of tho country, against which
Europeans havo a prejudice, because bf tho
taste they acquire front being kept in tarred
casks. .
The island hits ono splendid port Fama-
gosta, tho Arsinoo of tho ancients which,
though so choked with filth as only to af
ford anchorage for a few small craft, might
easily bo restored to its prominence under
tho old Venetian rule, where hundreds of
vessels rode within iU roodstead at caso and
u safety. Despite tho locusts which scourga
it ceaselessly, and tho even moro rapacious
Turkish tax-gatherer, Cyprus has of lato
ears been increasing in prosiicrity. Itsgrain
crop is small, and both its wheat and oats
aro inferior, but coiocynth is extensively
cultivated; large exports of madder nio
made, and cotton and carnb-Leans are sent
abroad to tho extent of some thousands of
tons aunually.
To Americans; and especially to New
Yorkers, tlio island will bo familiar through
the Di Cetnolan collection of Cyprioto anti
quities. According to that distinguished As
syriologist, the late Ooorgo Smith, and other
eminent authorities, tho language of their
inscriptions is a Greek dialect npproachlng
tho Arondi.iii.but possessing many pcculiari-
es, tua characters (not Greek, but of un
known origin) being usually from right to
left and syllabic; somo of them, however,
