Before the castle of Gruningen, upon the Hodc, one clear summer evening, the bishop Henry of llalbcrstadt was seated with a foreign prelate who had been his guest for a month. 1 bo posset drink stood before them iu two mighty flagons. They ,had been discoursing from ten o'clock in the morniug, when they set down to dinner, about the huge wine tun which a bishop on the Rhine had just got constructed, and were agreed in the opinion that it became (very ecffis'nstical prince, who would confer a becoming splendor on his court to posstssa similar tua. Tho afTair was quite settled by both of them, excepUas to its execution; and their c hivers it'nu began now to be interrupted by yawns, and to flag on in mouo syllables. It chanced, as good fortune would have it that the shepurd Cmrad passed by, driving bis well washed flock across the castle yard wberr bi.-lfop Henry u e I to review them every evening. 'I Balutc you, my lord bishop!' 'Hood evening, Conrad; but where is Harm ?' Conrad whistled, and a beautiful large ram bounded up first to the shepherd aud then to the bishop, who carressed the animal and fed him with some crumbs which hu had kept for him The bishop exchanged a few words with the shepherd und inquired tf his wed | iling day" was" ^*Kwi3Z?. '(jhiira/j* '?Hrjaffl geil his shoulders aud pasicd on with his flock. Bishop Henry now extolled the beau tiful ram wb oh he ^declared he would not part with for anything in the world, and then he turned his eulogiu n on tho good Conrad, who ho said, was honesty itself. The foreign bishop laughed aloud, lor travel into distant countr es, auda frequent stay at foreign courts, had filled him with universal distrust of man. llo iiyotred that it w is imp sihle to lind a thoroughly honest serv.m ? and !ca>-t of nil t.t the court ol a bishop Thoy vyero all, ho .s.iid, oo nbiu id ti cheat iluir masters, und ull more or Us.s rogues. Bishop-Henry eagerly <D- pu'ed his asset tjen; and extolled the virtues (if the good people over whom he sway ed the crosier, mid,, above all, his .-hep here Courud, who, as he said, had never told a lie or deceived auy, p.uson in bis ^hoUvdifetiiae. 4NeV3r told a lie! -Never deceived his master!7 repeated the stranger-bishop ta tone ?f irnny. 'No!' answered ishop. Henry; 'bo never has; and uever yvUK* 'Never'.' reechoed the foreign ecclesiastic, 'what will you beli" Attor several propositions, the two bishops jigrecd upon these conditions: first, that Hie stake should be an immense tun, capable of containing ono hundred an I fifty barrels of wine?and, secondly, tbat Conrad, without being mado aware of IWfn* sttittte'o .nU'ftttil W Jixv.it>if the wager, should be put to the ' trial within three days. The two dignitaries then parted-for.the night,.right glad to dinve found something to amuse thorn for two or three days to come: Tho. foreign bishop, before he went to bed,;held, as his custom.was, a consulta tion with his confidant, Pctor,; who was nominally his servent. and ocoaaioually his fool but in lact possessed a truer claim to the title ofdiis privy-cuin dl-ir, than many'bffte^StijwylVigihigher' titles and places. -Peter had' always some f-hicwd advice to give in fevcry tfiiioricn ? cy, whither temporal or spiritual.

Tho ;activo Fcter had al ready spoken to Elizabeth, and found her quite ready to assiot in his outer priso; he thereforo only rcquired.a baud ful of glittering silver pieces from bis master to gain the bet- Tho bishop gave him as much as he wished, and sat down to diuuer with good hopes of the Wine tun. Meuuwhilq Peter has taken his way hack to the fair Elizabeth; he shows bei the hinting coins,which almost covered her little table, aud a bargain is quick ly struck between them; Fetor agree ing to purchase for her aootta^o, if she brought him what he wanted. The following morning Elizabeth, soon al ter sunrise, went to cut grass at a place which she knew Conrad mist, pass with his flock. As soon as the latter perceived her at a distance, he flew,'accompanied by Flarm.to meet her, sat down beside her, and repeated all his former vows and protestations of love. Eut Eli abcth answond her lover very coolly, remarking that she had beard all that a thousau I tiumj aver, and if he had nothing to tell her of a little cottage or his own, he already knew her answer. : ?>?'? f ! Sa)8>? CJ> V.1- , Conrad was about to take hrs leave much dejected, when a half smiling glance from Elizabeth induced him to inquire why she was so cruel to him, and what she wished him to do for her. 'For the joke's sake, let us see. whether you realty are serious in your love for me,' ss;i'd Elizabeth. The favorite ram nhf fate OThT*JjT* tTutT meaiW)i^^4*As.ed J between her and Conrad, and naw stood j eating from her bands. 'If I desire you I to give me your rum that I may sell him?' j Conrads heart sunk within him. Sadly he replied : 'Any thing in this world but that; if the bishop did uot in the evening get Harm to feed, there wi uld lie a pretty disturbance. Take the best pel sheep in the wh do fin :k ? take all thj fifty btdongiug t<i tin. on!/ that single ram you cannot lnv-j.' 'Honk j iu'W,' said Kltzihcth, "you 11:11 ar! all alike. A Way with you ami your fifty sheep ; even so s nail a pie 18 ire as this 'my love refuses me! Truly he would be a precious husband to me when ihs honey mot 11 was over! Away to your bishop ; let him feed his ram, and do l i f you leave me ahme ! They ujsputcd thus a long while ; Conrad sued tears in his aug er, and Elizabeth at last confessed that she had I sold the' rani for the hoiise they had so often wished to possess, ami added that she must deliver him up that very Jay, cost what it might, as she had pledged her word and could not bear tho idea of being called a liar. SI10 then sh;d tears, lamenting that this unhoped for pleasure of being able to get a bouse in which she and Conrad might live com (brtubly with their children, should be thus blasted. She asked if sheep were not every day dying?if 11 otic were ever lost?if none were ever stolen?if the wolle never devoured one, and so on At last love conquered ; Conrad promised her to deliver her the ram beforcJti?on, aud Elizabeth promised to bocoine his wedded wife in a month. I Elizabeth walked quickly on to the town, and Conrad gazed wistfully after her; the pleasure he felt in being her accepted lover was not a little damped by the idea of the interrogations which he must undergo from his kind master, in whose serviio he had poeii hitherto j vot a: apt son ma si--it it ><a oi frl?."

At this moment, while'Conrad was th is speaking, Harm pressed through be tweon ^his logs t,o examine tho figuro to ^nic^'jhe ^saw U|8 master making so *mauy prolouuyV' 'reverences. 'Conrad, 'Conrad !' continued Hid shepherd, in his fanciful* 6 ibterlooutorship, 'Harm knows his homo ; Harm could not lose himself 1 That will not do.' ' Another conversation, in which Con rad tried to represent tho ram as stolon, Hann interrupted by a violent'blow with which ho nieabi to answer the bow? I v ?e'?w -iovo eg?- tif \ ??->.-. ho saw his.roaster rauking. ?IIc is not so ensily caught ' oxclaimod Conrad .'That w'ill not do eVthor.' Thus ho talked vith himself for about half an hour; b^t his imaginary dia logues always toHrtinatcd with a shake of the head and tfcso words : 'Conrad, that will not do 1' VAud yet,' added he. 'I must before uvon give up the ram ; for I have promised)-*, and if Eliziboth does not deliver' \\t as she has already .sold it, sho would be called a liar, and could not become my wire.' At last ho jujiTptd'up joyfully ami exclaimed : 'Honesty is tho best policy! That will do!' He put on his cap and Ilia emit aud dror?. forward his flo *k, and before noon he had delivered, with a deep sigh, his darling Harm to Elizi both, who without reflecting any tiiorc about the niattor, exchanged him for the price of the cottago. That evening was fixed for Conrad's trial. ]>nth 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 little, lot each bad a strong desire that the honor of coustructing the tuu might all to the lot of the other. But Pete, the privy couucilor, kept himself quite cheerful, and secretly rejoiced before band in the success of his well-laid plan, and the certainty of hia victory ; for he had ahead}' bad the bishop's favorite ram in his stable, and how could Conrad venture to tell the truth, when hi* donig so mustdraw upon him the wrath of bin master aud* (^TeprireVffta't/i kit-. bread forever! So reasoned the privy councilor; meanwhile Courad appeared driving his flock across tho castle-yard. Peter smiled triumphantly,' for already ho fancied the could trace fear and anxiety [ at work in Conrad's countenance. That evening no raio^jyuno bounding up to bishop Henry, to* receive his accustomed portion. 'Where is Harm '{' inquired the bishop, with a scrutinizing look. 'I have sold him,' cried Conrad; ?in>w it is out ! Honesty is the best policy" ; that is my motto, my lord bish p, as you know; and it shall always, so it please Heaven, rem iiti my motto.' Peter's face lengthened ; but bi-h'>|i Henry exclaimed, with an -an^ry [ countenance and ii'threatening vo'.a: 'Why did *you sell hiin without telling me ? I would have given you bis price ten times told. Do you not know?' ' Hear nie, my lord bishop,' said Con rad. 'Elizabeth tetnptod me, as Eve tempted Adam; and Elizabeth was tempted by a rogue, as Eve was by a foul fiend. If bo gives me back my ram, 1 will not reveal his name.' Peter turned angrily away, for gone wero all his glitteriug pieces, aud the scarlet cap besides ? and uow the ratn himself was gone also ! 'Elizabeth,' continued Conrad, 'had snid Harm before telling me, otherwise he would never have beeu sold by me ; but, as niatters s.ood, I was obliged to give hiin to her, however sorry I was for it?else she would have been called a liar, and s\\o is now my betrothed. That is the naked truth, my lord bishop: do now with me what you please ; what is done is done, only do not punish Elizi both?a poor weak woman easily seduded by any tempter ' Bishop Hei'ry would have bqgun to scold, but' the1 'other bidtop, easting an angry ginned on : Peter, who now with drew himself, exclaimed : '1 have lost the wager; that was the trial.' .y0 lli.-hop Henry's wrath was uspiing ed by th?. pleasure of having woo tho: wager; but the honesty of Conrad nfTord ed his master in? rc gratification than even the wlttvMftn,1 tor it taught him also the power tit luveyaud what love can do with men. 'Ye*!' exclaimed both the bishops, ?honesty is the best policy 1' And Bishop Henry added : 'Ai a rownrd of jour honesty I will he at the expense of your redding, and hill' the thick shall be yours;' *And,' added tho foreign prelate, :\ our (lulling Ilium shall be rebloft/d'!,to 'ybd again, and the cottage <y6? "Miall also retain as a christening gift'from me to your fir.->t child.'

U?r-a? wot***), j*>*;v [From the Constitutionalist.] A few days ago a friend sent us'.a copy of a llhodc Inland paper, and baile us observe the kind of journals there was published in New England town no larger than Augusta We glanced at the paper with a feeling akin to morti I fication, intensified by the apparent Blight involved in the comparison, But tnattcrs were not so bad with i'W after all when a just comparison was instituted. The Rhode Island paper was a weekly Uur paper is a daily, and its Sunday and weekly editions, so tar as t.ho liter ary contents ore concerned, can afford t ? stand the test of successful contract Wut the Uhode l.-land paper certainly had the advantage in advertisements. It uevcr seemed to oceur to our friend that there is a marvelous f'.ifferctice in the publication ot a daily piper and a weekly. He did not tak : into ac r tun t. th it the Rhole Island town and f t.! (Jenrgia town are very different}' const.i tutcd. In Northern cites there are very few readers who do not piy for their paper; the reverse is true of the Smth. If merchants and subscribers in this sec tion supported their papers with half th ? promptness and punctuality that the satno classes at the North support their local journals, the newspapers of the South would ei|ual those of the region^ beyond us. But what is the exact truth of the whole matter'!' Let Maj. Calhouu. the proprietor of the Columbus Enquier, y^Hh has been sharply brought into antagonism with-'Jji.s problem answer for us. He says: 'The uyy.imipcrs of the North are flourishing with their customary vigor. Despite the panic and hard times the people read and ad vertise, and. pay lor both, while the Southern papers arc daily waning. This cannot bo attributed to a lack of ability* or enterprise iu the management >f Southern journals, !or they are fully up with the times, and will compare fivor ably with the uio.-t snvcvftslul papers in the country. It cannot he denied that', either from want .of indifference, t'ie Southern whites, lit the propottion to their number, do not read as extensively as they do iu the North'an 1 West, an 1 a glance at the pipers of the respective sections will show that Southern uier ehaiits, with few exceptions, do not ap preciatc the value and importance ot* a I vertisiug. But there is still another trouble with which the majority of Southern journals haVc to contend, and that is- the credit system. A dis tinguished journalist of this Statj assured us latoly that ho lost yearly thirty.three per cent, of his subscrip tions, because; pcoplo ocglceteil to pay after being trusted. Now no business can stand this loss, t>ud purlieularly a newspaper, the greater part of wh >so value lies iu its go >d will. While the credit system is praoticeJ, So tt'iern journals will continue to be impecuvous and down at the heels. So far as we are concerned, wo have.decided on the pro per course and shall follow it out, though wo did uot do so till our loss from indifferent subscribers amounted to many thousand dollars Our course meets with opposition, and, strange to say, gome merchants iu thNeity, whose interests it would be to encourage cash payment*', airishly refuse to take our paper if we do not trust the in, on the pha that 'they are gmli for their debts.' Of cmn.se We humor tlio'O men by beg ging them to ?ake our paper on their own terms.
