Before (lie castle of Gnitrogen, upon the Bode, one clear summer evening, I (he bishop Henry of Ilalbcrstadt was seated with a foreign prellte who had been his guest fur a month. 'j he posset drink stood before them in two mighty flagons. They .had been discoursing from ten o'clock in tho morning, when they set down to dinner, about tin: huge wine tun which a bishop on the Rhine had just got constructed, and were agreed in tho opinion that it became ? very eoPh S'nM :eal prince, who would confer a becoming splendor on his court to poss ssa similar tuo. Tho affair was quite settled by both of them. execpUas to its execution; and their conversation began now to be interrupted by yawns, and to ilag on in uiouo syllable*. It chanced, as good fortune w mid have it that the shepard Conrad passed by, driving his well washed (lock across the castle yard wberr hi-hop Henry u e 1 to review them every evening. 'I salute you. my lord bishop!' 'Good evening, Conrad; but where is Harm?' Conrad whistled, and a beautiful large rain bounded up first to ihc shepherd and then to tho bishop, who carressed the animal and fed him with some crumbs which be had kept for him The bishop exchanged a few words with the shepherd und inquired tf his wed ding day was at "^rindi"... Cj>tira,d alirjg^L ged his shoulders and passed on with his flock. Bishop Henry now extolled the beau tiful ram wh ch he ^declared he would not part with for anything in the //oil I, and then he turned his eulogiu n on the good Conrad, who he said, was honesty itself. The foreign bishop laughed i aloud, for travel into distant couutr us, j and a frequent stay at foreign courts, ; had filled him with universal distrust of man. lie averred that it w is imp >.s sdble to find a thoroughly honest serVan ? and lea-t of all at the court ol a hi.ill jp They were all, ho said, co iibin :d t ? cheat tloir masters, and all more or l.ss rogues. Bishop Henry eagerly di.-pU' ed his assci t icn; and extolled the virtues ; i.f I lie jiOod people over whom he sway ed the crosier, and above all, his .'hep here Conrad, who, as he Said, had never told a lie or deceived any person iu his whole Jil'ctitne. ?Nevar told a lie! Never deceived his master!"' repeated the stranger-bishop in a tone of irany. 'No!' answered Bishop Henry; 'he never has; and never will!' 'Never!' reechoed the foreign ecclesiastic, 'what will you bei?" Alter (several propositions, the two bishops ' agreed upon these conditions: first, that the stake should be an immense tun, capable of containing one hundred an I fifty barrels of wine?and, secondly, trait Conrad, without being made aware of the wager, should be put to the trial within three days. The two dignitarios then parted for the night, right glad to have found something to amuse thorn for two or three days to come. The foreign bishop, before he went to bed, held, us his custom was, a consulta tion with his confidant, Peter, who was nominally his servent. and occasionally his fool but iu fact possessed a truer claim to the title of his privy c mn ?il ?r. than many bfneftfenjoying higher titles and places I'el er bad always some f-hicwd advice, to give Ml every em >rirt'n cy. \\ht thcr temporal or spiritual.

The active Fcter had al ready spoken to Elizabeth, und found her quite ready to assist in his outer pri.co; he therefore only required,a hand fill of flittering silver pieces from his master to {rain the bet. The bishop gave him as much as he wished, and sat down to dinner with good hopes of the wine tun. Meanwhile Peter has taken his way hti< k to the lair Elizabeth; he bhows her t he i-hil ing coins which almost covered her little table, and a bargain is quick ly struck between them; Peter agree ;:;g to purchase for her aoottajo, if she brought him what lie wanted. The following morning Elizabeth, soon alter stitni.", went to cut grass at a place which she knew Conrad must pass with his flock. As soon as the latter perceived her at a distance, he flow,accompanied by Harm, to meet her. sat down beside her, ami repeated all his former vows and protestations of love" I5uf Kli aheth nnswert il her lover very cully remarking that, she had heard all that a thotisuu I times over, and if he had nothing (<> tell her of a littie cMit.igc ilf" his own. lie already knew bei answer. Conrad was about to take Irs leave much dejected, when a halt'.smiling glance front Elizabeth induced him to inquire why she was so cruel to him, and what she wished him to do'for her. 1 Kor the joke's sake, let us sec. whether you rcaj'.y are serious in your love lor j uic,' said 'Elizabeth. The favorite ram TTT^ftie VrsHnjp*^Ka(I ?icaTTvi'li.Mr^r.'irsed j between her and Conrad, and u >w stood eating from her hands. 'If I d::sire yon to give me your ram that I may sell him?' Conrad's heart sunk within him. Sadly he replied : 'Any thing in this world but that ; if the bishop did not in the evening get Harm to feed, there wi uld be a pretty disturbance. Take the hesi pel .-h ???-.< in (he wh de ?o :k - lake all I II lilt v bdon r'l'i^ t i tU3. mil that single ram yit cannot hiv:.' 'Look in-w.' said Kliziboth, yon u mi ir- ill alike.

Away to your hishop ; let him feed his ram, and do you leave tne alone !' They disputed thus a long while ; Conrad slied tears in bis ang er. and Elizabeth at last confessed that she had -old the ram for the house they had so often wished to possess, and added thai she must deliver him up that very day, cost what it. might, as she had pledged her word and could not bear the idei of being called a liar. Sho then shid tears, lamenting that this unhoped for pleasure of beiug able to get a house in which she and Conrad might live com fortably with their, children, should jo thus blasted. She asked if sheep were not every day dying?if' none were over lost?if none were ever stolen ? if the wolfe never devoured one, and so on At last love conquered ; Conrad promised her to deliver her the ram before noon, and Elizabeth promised to bneome his wedded wife in a month , Elizabeth walked quickly on to the town, and Conrad gazed wistfully after her; the pleasure he full in being her accepted lover was not a little damped by the idea of the interrogations which he must undergo from Iii.? kind master, in w hose sei \ K c he had b vii hitherto so c.

I At this moon nt, while Conrad was lb is sjicuking, llano pressed through he iween his le^fi to examine the figure to which he saw his master making Ho many profound reverences. 'Conrad, Conrad !' oonti' iicd tlui shepherd, in his fanciful iiiterhditorship, 'Harm knows his homo ; Ilar.n could net loso himself! That will not do.' Another conversation, in which Con rnd tried to represent tho ram as stolon, Harm interrupted by a violent blow with which he meant to answer Ihe bows ho saw his masty)* making. 'lie is not so easily caught ' exclaimed Conrad ;That will not do c Ithcr.' Thus he tulked vith himself for about half an hour; bit his imaginary diu logucs always terminated with a shake of the head and tscse words : 'Conrad, that will not do V r And yet,' added he. 'I must before noon give up the ram ; for I have promisodjjt, aud if f?lizihoth dues not deliver 'it as she has already sold it, she would be called a liar, and could not become my wife.' At last ho jumped up joyfully and exclaimed : 'Honesty is tho best policy! That will do!' Ho put on his cap and li's coat aud drove forward his Ho*k, and before noon he hail delivered, with a deep sigh, his darling Harm to Rlizi beth, who without reflecting any more about the matter, exchanged him for ;he price of the 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 bents of both beat strongly, aud they spoke but little, fui each had a strong desire that the honor of constructing the tun might all to the lot of the other. But Pete, the privy councilor, kept himself quite cheerful, aud secretly rejoiced before hand iu the success of his well-laid plan, and the certainty ol his victory ; lor he had already had tho bishop's favorite ram in his stable, aud how could Conrad venture to tell the truth, when his doing so mustdraw upon him the wrath j of his master and "tfiSpTive^/la^WfJ i bread forever ! So reasoned the privy councilor; I meanwhile Conrad appeared driving his : flock across the castle yard. Peter smiled triumphantly, for already he I fancied the could trace fear ami anxiety I it work in Conrad's countenance. I That evening no r.ioi^eame bounding up to bishop Henry, to receive his accustomed portion. 'Where is Harm?' inquired the bishop, with a scrutinizing 1 look. 'I have sol.1 him,' cried Conrad; ?ii"W it is out ! Honesty is the heft policy; that is my motto, my lord i bish p. a.> you know; and it shall I always, suit please He.tven, remain my motto.' Peter's face lengthened ; hut bishop Henry exclaimed, with an angry countenance au 1 a threat suing vo c; : ?Why did -you sell him without telling uic ? I would have given you his price ' ten times told. Ho you not know?' ?Hear me, my-lord bishop,'said Con j rad. 'Elizabeth tempted me, as Rvu ; tempted Adam ; and Elizabeth was ' tempted by a rogue, as Kvc was by a foul fiend. If he gives me back my rain, 1 will not reveal his name.' Peter turned angrily away, for gone I were all his glitteriug pieces, and the scarlet cap besides ; and now the ram himself was gone also ! 'Elizabeth,' continued Conrad,'had s<dd Hann before telling mo, otherwise he would never have been sold by me ; but, as matters s.ood, I was obliged to give him to her, however sorry I was for it?else she would have been called a liar, and she is now my betrothed. That is the naked truth, my lord bishop; do now with me what you pleanu ; what is done is done, only do not punish Kliza belli?a poor weak woman easily seduced by any tempter ' Bishop H'ei'ry would have begun to scold, but Hie other bishop, casting an angry glsiiicc on Peter, who now with dl'CW himself, exclaimed : '1 have lost j | the wager ; that was the trial.' So Bishop Henry's wrath w is unsung cd by the phustirc of having woo tho wager; but the honesty of Conrad afford I'd his master im re gratification than , oven the wine-tun, for it taught hiin also tho power ol luve, aud what love can do !? with men. 'Yes!' oxelaimcd both the bishops, ?honesty Is the best policy !' And Bishop Henry aided: 'As a roward of your hottest y I will bo ai the expense of your redding, and hilt' the ll?ek shall be yours.' 'And,' added the b.roigil prelate, '\onr darling 11 aim shall be restored to you again, and the cottage you fdiall also rctuiu as a christening gilt from me to your first child.' Thus the bishop ?vho lost tho wagor was led to get i he largo wine tun con structcd, which formerly a'.trneted so many travelers to G runingcti, and which now lies upon the ISptogelsberg near lialberstadt. The sharpest torments nre said to be j thoso caused by trouble which Dover coxae: Th? Trials of Journalism. [From the C'omnilutionulist.] A few days ago a friend sent us'a copy of a Rhode Island paper, and bade as observe the kind of journal*- liiere was published in New England town no I larger than August We glanced at the paper with a feeling akin to morti ' fiealion, intensified by the apparent I slight involved in the comparison.
