Honesty Tlio Best Policy.
A STOilV OF TIIE'N?RTn Ot1 GERMANY.
Before the castle of Gruningcn, upon
the Hodc, one clear summer evening,
the bishop Henry of Halberstadt was
seated with a foreign prcl ltd who hail
been bis guest for a month. 1 bo posset
drink stood before them in two mighty
flagous. They ,had becu discour.siug
from ten o'clock in the morniug, wbon
they set down to dinner, about the huge
wine tun which a bishop on the Rhino
had just got constructed, and were
agreed in the opinion that it became
(Very ecWiS'astical prince, who would
conler a bceomiug spleudor on his court
to pnss*8sa similar tuo. The affair was
quite settled by both of them, excepUas
to its execution; and their can vers ttian
begau dow to be interrupted by yawns,
and to flag on in mouo syllables.
It chanced, as good fortune w oild
have it thai the sbepard Conrad passed
by, driving his well washed flock across
the castle yard wherr bbhop Henry u el
to review them every evening. 'I
salute, you, my lord bishop!' '(Juud

Conrad whistled, and a beautiful large
ram bouuded up first to the shephenl
aud then to the bishop, who carrossed
the animal and fed him with some
crumbs which ho had kept for him
The bishop exchanged a few words with
the shepherd and inquired tf his wed
ding djiy~was at^a\-fL...fifei!jad^l?lTrl
ged his shoulders aud pushed on with'
his flock.
Bishop Henry now extolled the beau
tiful ram wh ?b he ^declared be would
not part with for anything in the world,
and then he turned his eulogiu n on the
good Conrad, who ho said, was honesty
itself. The foreign bishop laughed
aloud, lor travel into distant COlllltr os,
aud a frequent stay at foreign courts:,
had filled him with universal discrust',
of man. lie averred that it w is imp is

ecclesiastic, 'what will you beti" Altor
several propositions, the two bishops
jigrecd upon these conditions: first, that
the stake should be ah immenso tun,
capablo of containing oho hundred an I
fifty barrels of wino?und, secondly, that
Conrad, without being mado aware of
,the wnger, should bo put to the trial
within threo days. The two dignitarios
thou parted-for. the night, right glad to
have found Somcthiug to jvmuso ? thorn
for two or three days to come.
The foreign bishop, before he went to
bed, hohl, as his.custom was, a consuUa

little cottage of his own, both being
very poor. : Tho .activo Toter had al
I ready spoken to Elizabeth, and found
her quito ready to assist in his enter
priso; he therefore only requirod.a hand
ful of glittering silver pieces from his
master to gain the bet. Tho bishop
gave him as much aa he wished, and sat
down to dinner with good hopes of the
wine tun.
Meanwhile Peter has taken his way
buck to the lair Elizabeth: be shows hei
the fhii ing coins which almost covered
her little table, and a bargain is quick
ly struck between thcui; Peter agree
ing to purchase for her aootta^o, if she
brought hiui what he wanted.
The following morning Elizabeth,
soon alter sunrise, went to cut grass at
ii place which she knew Courad must
pass with Iiis flock. As soon as the
latter perceived her at u distance, ho
flew, accompanied by Hann, to meet her,
sat down beside her, and repeat.!,! all
bis former vows and protestations of
love.
lint Eli abcth nnswcrtd her lover
very coolly remarking that she had
beard all that a thoitiuu i times over,
and if he had nothing to tell her of a
little cottjgo or his owo, he already
knew her answer.
Conrad was about to take his leave
much dejected, when a hall'smiling
glance from Elizabeth induced him to
inquire why she was so cruel to him,
and what she wished him to do for her.
1 For the joke's sake, let us see whether
you real'.y are serious in your love for
roe,' said Elizabeth. The favorite ram
T^ tme "ifliJlTup *Ba"<r~umaTrWlW4''prAiseJ .
between her and Conrad, and u n\ stood
eating from her hands. 'If I desire you
to give me your rum 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
would be a pretty disturbance. Take
the liest pet shnop in tho wh do fin :k ?
take all lb j fifty belon iitisj t'i uia. nnl /
that single ram yon cannot h iv-j.' 'Look
now.' natu Kliz ihcth, 'you ?njn in all
alike. Aw-iy wilh yo? und your -1 fr v
sheep ; even so s null a pie is ire as this
' my love refuses me! Truly he would
be a precious husband to tue when the
boiieytiiciou was over ! Away to your
bishop; let him feed his ram, and do
you leave me alouc !'
They disputed thus a long while ;
Conrad shed tears in his anger, and
Elizabeth at last confessed that she bad
sold the ram for the house they had ho
often wished to possess, and added that
she must deliver him up that very day,
cost what it might, as she bad pledged
her word and, could not bear tho ide i of
being called a liar. Sho then ah sd
tears, lamenting that this unhoped for
pleasure of being able to get a house in
which she and Conrad mi<rht live com
[ -rM et ili ? .
fortubly with their children, should be
thus blasted. She asked if sheep were
not every day dying?if node were ever
lost?if none were ever1 stolen?if the
woIfe never devoured one, and so on
At last love conquered ; Conrad promised
her to deliver her the ram before''noon,
liud Elizabeth promised to become his
wedded wife in a month.
, Elizabeth walked quickly on to the
town, and Conrad gazed wistfully alter
her; the pleasure he Folt in being her
accepted lover was not a little damped
by the idea of the Mitorrogalions which
he must uiidcrtfo from his King master.

Thus ho talked vith himself Tor about
half an hour; b^.t his imaginary din
logues always terminated with a shake
of the head and ttcse words : 'Conrad,
that will not do 1' rAnd yet,' added he.
'I must before nCon give up the ram ;
for I have prouiisodlit, aud if Eliziboth
docs not deliver 'at as she has ulready

At last be jumped up joyfully ami
exclaimed : 'Honesty is the best policy!
That will do!' Hu put on his cap and
h*s coat aud drove forward his flo -k,
and before noon he bod delivered, with
a deep sigh, his darling Harm to Htizi
beth, who without reflecting any more
about the matter, exchanged him for
the price of the cottage.
That evening was fixed for Conrad's
trial. Hoi h the bishops waited at their
posscl-cup in the castle yard for the
appearance of the shepherd who was to
decide their wager. The hearts of both
beat strongly, aud thoy spoke 'hut little,
lot each had a strong desire t hat the
honor of constructing the tuu might
all to the lot of the other. But Pete,
the privy councilor, kept himself quite
cheerful, and secretly rejoiced before
band in the success of bis well-laid plan,
and the certainty ol his victory ; for he
had ulready had the bishop's favorite
ram in his stable, and how could Conrad
venture to tell the truth, when his
doing so mustdrnw upon him the wrath
of bis master aud* "cTeq^riv"c1tr;t?*tlj bjffc'
bread forever!
So reasoned the privy councilor;
meanwhile Courad appeared driving his
fluck across the castle yard. Peter
smiled triumphantly, for already ho
fancied the could trace fear and anxiety
at work in Conrad's countenance.
That eveuiug no r;;ta^fjj.nie bounding
up to bishop Henry, to receive his
accustomed portion. ? Where is Hann!''
inquired the bishop, with a scrutinizing
look. 'I have sold him,' cried Courad;
?now it is out ! Honesty is the best
policy ; that is my motto, my lord
bish p, as you know; and it shall
always, suit please Heaven, remain my
motto.' refers face lengthened ; hut
bi-hop Henry exclaimed, with an angry
countenance and a threat :ning vo'cj :
'Why did -you sell him without telling
uic ? I wouul have given you his price
ten times told. Do you not know?'
' Hear me, my lord bishop,' said Con
rad. 'Elizabeth temptod mc, as Eve
tempted Adam; and Elizabeth was '
tempted by a rogue, as Eve was by a
foul fiend. If he gives mc back my
rain, I will not reveal his name.'
Peter turned angrily away, for gone
I were all his glitteriug pieces, aod the
scarlet cap besides ; and uow the ram
himself was gone also !
'Elizabeth,' continued Conrad, 'had
sold Harm before telling mo, otherwise
he would never have beeu sold by me ;
but, as matters s.ood, I was obliged to
givo 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 uow with mc what you please ; what
is done is done, only do not punish Eliza
belli?a poor weak woman easily
seduced by any tempter 1
Bishop Henry would have bsgun to
scold, but the other bishop, casting an
angry glance on Peter, who now with
drew himself, exclaimed : '1 have lost
i the wager; that was the trial.'
So Hi>hop Henry's wrath was assung
ed by the pleasure of having won tho
wager; but the honesty of Conrad nfibrd
od his master tin re gratification than
even the ivTti'if-thn, for ittaught htm also
tho power Of UiVeV, and what love can do
with men. 1"
'Yes!' exclaimed both the bishops,
?honesty is the best policy!' And
Hishop Henry added: 'As a rowtird
of your honest y 1 will bo at the expense
of your redding, und half the llock
shall be yours.' 'And,' added tho f.-roigu
prelate, 'your darling IIarm shall be
rcslore'd t'6 you again, and the cortage
you shall also retain as a christening -
gift 'from mo to your fir.-?t child.'
Thus the bishop who lost tho wugor
wan led to get the largo wine tun con
structed, which formerly a'.traded so
many travelers to Gruningcn , and which
now lies upon the Spiogulsberg near
Hulberstadfc. ' ' ?'??f*

A few days ago a friend sent us'a
copy of a Khodc Island paper, and bade
us observe the kind of journals there
was published in New England town no
larger than Augusta \Vc glanced at
the paper with a feeling akin to morti
fieation, intensified by the apparent
Blight involved in the comparison. Bui
matters were not so bad with us after all
when a just comparison was instituted.
The llhode Island paper was a weekly
Our paper is a daily, nud its Sunday
and weekly editions, so tar as tho liter
ary contents are concerned, can afford t ?
Bland the test id' successful contract
Hut the llhode Island paper certainly
hud the advantage in advertisements.
It never seemed to occur to our frien 1
that there is a marvelous r'.ilfercncc in
the publication ol a daily paper and a
Weekly. He did not tak ; into ae : nett
th.t the Rhu to Island town ami tha
Georgia town are very dilfcrenty consti
tuted. In Northern cites there are very
few readers who do not ply for their
paper; the reverse is true of the Smth.
If merchants and subscribers in this ?ec
tion supported their papers with half th ?
promptness and punctuality that the
samo classes at the North support their
local journals, the newspapers of the
South would eijual those of the region*
beyond us. Hut what is the exact truth
of the whole matter ? Let Maj. Calhouu.
the proprietor of the Columbus Mnqnier,
yjnh has been sharply brought into
antagonism with-\hi.s problem answer
for us. He says : 'The lAW.srmpers ol
the North are flourishing with thotr
customury vigor. Despite the panic
and hard times the people read and ad
vertise, aud. pay for both, while the
Southern papvrs arc daily waning. This
cannot be attributed to a lack of ability
or enterprise in tho management < f
Southern journals, lor they are fully up
with the times, aud will compare favor

Southern whites, in the proportion to
their number, do not read as extcnsively
as they do in the North an 1 West, an 1
a glance at the p ipers of t he respective
sections will show that Soiithcrn t'ner
chants, with few exceptions, do not ap
predate the value and importance of u I
vertisihg. But there is stiMnnother
trouble with ?\hich the majority of
Southern journals ha\*C to contend, and
that is the credit system. A dis
tinguislied journalist of this Statj
assured us lately that ho lost yearly
thirty-three per cent, of his subscrip
tiona, becauso people neglected to pay
after being trusted. Now no business
can stand this loss, aud particularly a
newspapor, the greater part of wh >so
value lies in its go >d will. While the
credit system is practiced, Southern
journals will continue to be impeouvous
and down at the heels. So far as we are
concerned, wo have,decided on the pro
per courso and shall follow it out,
though we did uot do so till our loss
from indifferent subscribers am hid ted
to many thousand dollars Otir course"
meets with opposition, and, strange to
say, some merchants in this city, whose
interests it would be to encourage cash
payments', airishly refuse tn take our
paper if we do not trust th-'m, on the
pha that 'they are go. d for their debts '
Of cuise we humor those tuen by beg
