A STORY OF TUE" N OUT IT OF GERMANY. i iifikfi? Ji . i *'T_oiJ_i>b 1* {je-*., i??? . -.ei *~. Before the castle of Gruiiingen, upon the Bode, one clear Burumer evening, the bishop Henry of Halbcrstadt was seated with a foreign prclito who bad been his guest for a month. '1 ho 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 the hugo wine tun which a bishop on the Rhino I ?... :?{?>? ???1*.. ? o! ii, i,' ail. had just got constructed, and were agreed in the opinion that it became ? very eefb shistical prince, who would confer a becoming splendor on his court to possess a similar tua. The affair was quite settled by both of'them, excepUas to its execution; and their con versa tfn'i began now to be interrupted by yawns, and to flag on in mouo syllables. It chanced, as good Itiuuo w mid have it that tho shepard Conrad passed by, driving his well washed flock across tho castle yard wherr bishop Henry u c 1 to review them every evening. 41 salute you, my lord bishop!' 'Good evening, Conrad; but where is Harm ?' Conrad whistled, and a beautiful large ram bouuded up first to the shepherd and then to tho bishop, who carrcssed the animal and fed him with some crumbs which he bad kept for him The bishop exchanged a few words with the shepherd and inquired tf his wed ding oray~\va8 at iilfnl?- -li'Ufiad^U^f^J ged his shoulders and passed OU with his flock. Bishop Henry now extolled the beau tiful ram wb cb he ^declared be would not part with for anything in tho votl I, and thou he turned his eulogiu u on the good Conrad, who be said, was honesty itself. The foreign bishop laughed aloud, lor travel into distant cpulitr es, and a IVciiuciit stay at foreign courts. had tilled him with universal distrust; of man. He averred that it w is imp is sible to Hud a thoroughly honest sorv.in ?and lca>-tof ?U Mt the court ol u bishop 'lliey were all, ho said, co nbiu id t ? cheat thtir masters, and ull more or Kes rogues. Bishop Henry eagerly di.-pu* ed his ushcitien; and extolled the virtues nf the good people over whom he sway ed the crosier, and above all, his .-hep here Courad, who, as hes.iid, had never told a lie or deceived any p.UaoU in his whole lifetime. ^ore??*<?S. jmy i I *NeV3r told a lie! Never deceived his master!' repeated tho 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 betf" Alter peveral propositions, the two bishops agreed upon these conditions: first, that the stake should be ah immenso tun, capable of containing one hundred an I fifty barrels of wine?and, secondly, that Conrad, without4 being made aware of the wager, should bo put to the trial within three days. Thctwo dignitarios then parted for tho night, right glad to have found something to amuse them for two or three days to come. ?l>iiin ' ;j.3-.r< SMpo4] .?? ?a The foreign bishop, before he went to. bed,.held, us his custoiu was, a consulta tion with bis confidant, Peter,, who was nominnlly bissorvent. and occasionally his fool but in Inet possessed a truer claim to the title of his privy c .uneilor, than many others enjoying.higher titles and places J'eier had always some fhiewd advice to give in every em.-r^en cy, w hi ther temporal. or spiritual. !!<? was accustojiied. to hear, to so*, and rnm.ci.imcs even to think I'm his -jnas e. wi bout any one knowing it. rfi?^)5 il done so op thih occasion; but. be soenmd little disposed to talk, this evening, fuv the weird m'ffUry Which had eseap id <b ji; master's li|S duripg tho inversatioii just narrated, bad putj him iit" bad'lnlmfir, and it was i.uly b|p the promise of a dew i-earhf cap, in/ the event of tho wa ger being won.jt! at his master got him' 10 ''I'VA'alyfiJiid?3!

H ";i Peter commenced his_operatioua W^tli the rising sun, and boforo dinoor hour was Vib)o to report to hi3 master- that Conrad waa"?fn"!?ve With the fuir Eliza betHjVnfl^haiahef ? would not listen to bin proposals till he should possess a little cottage of his own, both being rery poor. Tho active Peter had al roudy spoken to Elizabeth, and found her quito ready to assUt iu his outer priso; he thereforo only rcquired.a hand ful of glittering silver pieces fron? his master to pain the bet. Tho 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 back to the fair Elizabeth; he shows bet the ihilling coins which almost covered her little table, and a bargain is quick ly struck between them; Peter agree ing to purchase for her a cottage, if she brought him what he wanted. The lollowing morning Elizabeth, soon al ter sunrise, 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 Hew, accompanied by Harm, tu meet her, sat down beside her. and repeated all bis former vows and protestations of love. Put Eli ubcth nnswcrid her lover very coolly, remark ing that, she had heard all that a thniHuu I times over, and if he had nothing to tell her of a little cottage of his own, 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. ' For the joke's sake, let us see whether you really are serious in yo'sr love for me,' said Elizabeth. The favorite ram "ij^ frTo Vr^i?q?""liaot uicaiTwY^-'Jf.'^sed between her and Conrad, and u n\ stood eating from her bands. 'If ] desire you 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 nit in the evening get Harm to feed, there Would be a pretty disturbance. Ta'*o the best pet sheep in the wh de Ho :k ? take all th j lil'ty, belonging t?i ma. out f that single, ram you cannot hivs.' 'Look now, said Kliziheth, 'you n mi ari all alike. A way with you Ii IM your uftv sheep ; even so m nail a plois ire as this my love refuses me ! Truly he would be a piccious husband to me when the hnueytiuiou was over ! Away to your bishop; let him feed his ram, and do you leave me alone !' They disputed thus a long while ; Conrad slicd tears in bis ang er. and Elizabeth at last confessed that she bad .-old the ram for the house they had so often wished to possess, and added that she must deliver him up that very day, cost what it might, as she had pledged her word and could not bear tho idci of being called a liar. Sho then sb sd tears, lamenting that this unhoped for pleasure of being able to get a house in which she and Conrad might live com fortably with their children, should be thus blasted. She asked if sheep were not every day dying?if none were ever lost.?if none were ever stolen ? if the woIfe never devoured one, and so on At last love conquered ; Conrad promised her to deliver her the ram before noon, and Elizabeth promised to become bis wedded wife in a month. , 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 sn\uc be bad b/eii hitherto so ct'inlolt;.b!e, ami who was so very ??i.i vi.:-.-.' \r y\i ??> loud ol the ram.

Thus he tulked With himself for about half an hour; bLfc his imaginary dia lo-rncs always terminated with a shake of the head aud t*ose words : 'Conrad, that will uot do !' VAnd yet,' added he. 'I must before hGon give up the ram ; fori have promisodjit, und if Eliz'ib eth docs not deliver \it as she has already sold it, she would be called a liar, and could not become u>y wife.' At last bo jump id up joyfully and exclaimed : 'Honest1)' is tho best po!iey! That will du!' He put on his cap and h?s coat aud drove forward his flo-k, and before noon be hod delivered, with a deep sigh, bis darling Harm to IClizi belli, who without reflecting any more about the matter, exchanged hiiu for the price of the cottage. That evening was fixed for Conrad's trial. Both the bishops waited at their posset-cup in the castlc yard for the appearance of the shepherd who was to deeide their wager. The hearts of both beat strongly, aud tboy spoke but little, Ioi each had a strong desire that the honor of constructing the tua bight all to the lot of the other. But Pete, the privy councilor, kept himself quite cheerful, and secretly rejoiced before band in the success ot his well laid plan, and the certainty of his victory; for he bad already had tho bishop's favorite ram in bis stable, and how could Conrad venture to tell the truth, when his doing so mustjlraw upon Rim the wrath j of bis master andr "cleprivc^flUT? Wfli' I breail forever ! So reasoned the privy councilor; meanwhile Conrad appeared driving his (lock across tho castle-yard. Peter smiled triumphantly, for already ho fancied the could trace fear ami anxiety ?it work in Conrad's couutenance. That evening no ruiO^came bounding up to bishop Henry, to receive bis accustomed portion. ? Where is Harm '!' inquired the bishop, with a scrutinizing look! 'I have sold him,' cried Conrad; I now it is out ! Honesty is the best policy ; that is my motto, toy lord bisb p, as you know; and it shall I always, suit please Heaven, remiiu my ; motto.' Peter's face lengthened ; but bi?h'<Vp Henry exclaimed, with au angry countenance and a threatening role6 : 'Why did -you sell him without telling uie ? I would have given you his price ten times told. Do you not know?' 'Hear me, my lord bishop,'said Con red. 'Elizabeth temptod me, as Eve temp .1 Adam ; and Elizabeth was tempted by a rogue, as Eve was by a foul fiend. If he gives nie back my rain, I will not reveal his name.' Peter turned angrily away, for gone werb all his glittering pieces, and the scarlet cap besides ; and now the rain himself was gone also ! 'Elizabeth,' continued Conrad', 'had sold Harm before telling mo, otherwise he would never have beeu sold by tne ; 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 please ; what is done is done, only do not punish Eliza belli?a poor weak woman easily seduced by any tempter ' Bishop Henry would have begun to scohl, but the other bidtop, easting an angry glance on Peter, who now with drew himself, exclaimed : '1 have lost the wager ; that was the trial.' So Bishop Henry's wrath was ussung ed by the pleasure of having won tho wager j but the honesty of Conrad afford ed l.is master m< re gratification than even the wine-tun, for it taught bun also t!iu power of loVC, and what love can do With inch. 'Yes!' exclaimed both the bishops, ?honesty Is the best policy !' And Bishop Henry added : -\k a rowaril of jour honesty I will bo at the expense of your redding, and lull' the thick shall be yours.' 'And,' Added tho foreign preliite, -'your dueling IImm shall be restored to ' ybil again, and the cottage you shall itlso retain as a christening gift from me to your fir*t child/ Thus the bishop who lost tho woger was led to get the largo wine tun con structcd, which formerly aMraoted so many travelers to Gruningcti, and which now lies upon the Spiogulsberg near llulberstadt. ' ? The shsrpost torments nre said to be thoso caused by trouble which never comes. Tho Trials ol'Journal ism. [From the ConetitulLoimiist.] A few days ago si friend sent us'a copy of a Khode Island paper, and hade us observo the kind ol* journals there wus published in New England town no larger than Augusta We glanced at tho paper with a feeling akin to m'orti Gent ion j intensified by the apparent slight involved in the comparison. Rut matters were not so bad with us after all when a just comparison was instituted. The Rhode Island paper was a weekly Our paper is a daily, nod its Sunday und weekly editions, so iar as the, liter ary contents are concerned, can ail o d t ? stand the test of successful contra-t Hut the llhode l.daod paper certainly hud the advantage in advertisements. It never seemed to occur to our Irien 1 that there is a marvelous difference in the publication ol a daily pa pur ami a wvekly. He did not tak ?? into ac : innt th it the Rliolc Is 1 ni l town und th.. Georgia town are very diuVrcuty coiHti tilted. Iti Northern cites there are very few readers who do not p iy for their paper ; the reverse is true of the S ruth. If merchants and subscribers iu this ?ec tion supported their papers with ball th i promptness and punctuality that the same ohisnes at the North support their local journals, the newspapers of the South would equal those of the region* beyond us. Rut what is the exact truth of the whole matter'!1 Let Maj. Calhouti'. the proprietor of the Columbus Hnquier, JVf'h'i. has been sharply brought into antagonism with \his problem answer for us. He says : 'The ij^ioapcra of the North are nourishing with thotr customary vigor. Despite tho panic and bard times the people read and ad vertise, and pay for both, while the Southern papers arc daily waning. This cannot bo attributed to a lack of ability or enterprise in the management < f Southern journals, {or they art; fully up with the times, and will compare l.ivor ably with the most su^cesslul papers in the country. It can not be denied that, cither from want of indifference, t. 10 Southern whites, lit the propottioil t ? their number, do not read us extensively as they do iu the North au 1 West, au I a glance at the p tucrs ni l he respectivo sections will show that Southern mer chants, with few exceptions, do not :ip preciate the value and importance of a I vertising. Rut there is stiMunother trouble with which the majority of Southern journals haVe to contend, and that is the credit system. A dis tingutshed journalist of this Sfatj assured us lately that bo lost yearly thirty.three per cent, of his suhscrip tions, beoauso people ueglected to pay after being trusted. Now no btisiiiois can stand this loss, and particularly a newspaper, the greater part of \vh iso value lies iu its go )d will. While the erodit system is practiced, Southern journals will continue to be iinpecuvous and down at the heels. So far as we are concernad, 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 am united to many thousand dollars Our course meets with opposition, and, strange to say, gome merchants in thN city, whose interests it would be to encourage cash payments, ajrishjy refuse to take our paj'or if we do not tru?t th ou, on the pha that 'they are go. d for their debts ' Of coin.se w e humor those men by beg ging them to ;ake our paper on their own terms.' Tin re seems to be an im prcs^ion in the minds of foitM uiiiiilhrni ed people that the cheapest and oasiost bu-iness is th it of publishing a p ipor ; indei d, that they 7i?ther compliment n publisher by reading his papvr. with the most indefinite idea of ever paying .lor it.
