Before llic castle ofGruningen, upon
the Bode, one clear summer evening,
the bishop Henry of Hnlberstadt was
seated with a foreign prcl ito who had
been his guest fur a month. 1 ho posset
dritik stood before thoin in two mighty
flagous. They ,had been discoursing
from ten o'clock in the morniug, whoa
they ?et down to dinner, about the hu^o
wine tun which n bishop on the Rhine
had just got constructed, und were
agreed in the opinion that it became
?very ecfli s;ast ical prince, who would
confer a becoming splendor on his court
to posse ss a similar tua. The affair was
quite settled by both bf'lhem, excepUis

began now to be interrupted by yawns,
and to flag on in umuo syllables.
It chanced, us good fortune Would

ready spoken to Elizabeth, and found
her quito ready to assist in his outer
priso; he therefore only requirod.a hand
ful of glittering s;!?cr pieces from his
master to guio the bet. The bishop
gave him as much as he wished, and Bat
down to dinner with good hopes of the
Wine tun.
Meanwhile Peter has taken his way

the hinting coins which nlni?&t covered
her Utile table, and a bargain is quick

The following morning Elizabeth,

Conrad was about to take Irs leave

inquire why she was so cruel to him,
and what she wished him to do for her.

eating from her hands. 'If I desire you
to give me vour rum that I may sell

Conrad's heart sunk within him.
Sadly he replied : 'Any thing in this

They disputed thus a long while ;
Conrad shed tears in his an;: er. and

Elizabeth nt last confessed that she had

about the matter, exchanged him for
the price uf tho cottage.
That evening was fixed for Conrad 's
trial. Both the bishops waited at their
posset-cup in the castle yard for the
appearance of the shepherd who was to
decide their wager. The hearts of both
beat strongly, aud they spoke but littlo,
I'm eaeh had a strong desire that the !
honor of constructing the tun might

the privy couucilor, kept hiiusolf quite
cheerful, and secretly rejoiced before
hand in the success of his well-laid plan,
and the certainty ol his victory ; for he
had already had the bishop's favorite
ram in his stable, aud how could Conrad
venture to tell the truth, when hia
.doing so mustdraw upon him the wrath

So reasoned the privy councilor;
meanwhile Conrad appeared driving his
Hock across the castloyard. Peter
smiled triumphantly, for already ho
fancied the could truce fear and anxiety
ut work in Conrad's countunancc.
That evening no rajaxapic bounding
up to bishop Henry, to' receive his
accustomed portion. 'Where is Harm '!'
inquired the bishop, with a scrutinizing
look. '1 have sold him,' cried Conrad ;
?now it is out ! Honesty is the befit
polity *, that is my motto, my lord
bish p, as you know; and it shall
always, so it please Heaven, remain my
motto.' Peter's face lengthened : but
bishop Henry exclaimed, with an angry
countenance and a threatening vo:c? :
'Why did -you sell hi in without telling
uic ? I would have given you his price
ten times told. Do you not know?'
' Hear me, my lord bishop' said Con
rad. ''iSllzabethV temptod mo, as ISve
tempted Adam; aud Elizabeth was
tempted by a rogue, as Eve was by a
foul fiend. If he gives me back my
ram, I will not reveal his name.'
Peter turned angrih/ away, for gone
wero all his glitteriug pieces, and the
scarlet cap besides ; and uow the rain
himself was gone also !
'Kli/abeth,' continued Conrad, 'had
sold Harm before telling mo, otherwise
he would never have been Bold by tne ;
but, as matters sood, I was obliged to
give him to her, however sorry I was
for it?else she would havo been called
a liar, and shu is now my betrothed.
That is the naked truth, my lord bishop;
do uow with me what you please ; what
is done is done, only do-not punish Eliza
bcth?a poor weak woman easily
seduced by any tempter'
Bishop Henry would have begun to
scold, but the other bidiop, easting an
angry glance oh I'eter, who now with
drew1 himself, exclaimed : '1 have lost
the wager ; that was ihe trial.'
S'o Bi.-hop Henry's wrath was naming
ed by the phastirc of having woo tho
wager j but the honesty of Conrad nflbrd
ed his iiiusfer nu re gratification than
even the wind-ton, for it taught htm also
the- power 61 loVe'/and what love can do

'Yen!' exclaimed both the bishops,
hondsty Is thu best policy !' And
Bi.-hop Henry added: 'As a rowunl
of your honest y I will be at thu expense

shall be yours.' 'And,' added the f>.roigu
prelate, Jyour darling Harm shall be
restored to you again, and the cottage

th.t the lthole Isl.nd town ami tha
