A STORY OF TUE" N OUT IT OF GERMANY.

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

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

by, driving his well washed flock across
tho castle yard wherr bishop Henry u c 1

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

his flock.
Bishop Henry now extolled the beau

good Conrad, who be said, was honesty

his ushcitien; and extolled the virtues
nf the good people over whom he sway

here Courad, who, as hes.iid, had never
told a lie or deceived any p.UaoU in his
whole lifetime. ^ore??*<?S. jmy

in a tone of irany. 'No!' answered
Bishop Henry; 'he never has; and never

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

he undertook to' find out how it -gin,
might ho set for the new phoenix of hon
esty, Conrad: _* f?\? 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

;That w*ll not either.'
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 ?

Hut the llhode l.daod paper certainly

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

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

prcs^ion in the minds of foitM uiiiiilhrni

bu-iness is th it of publishing a p ipor ;
