' In ose of the greenest vaKies of Italy, tUcerv ed, a great many years Ago, .a -gentleman vftio'was icalled ts!ae Ooant of 32iiib. The cattle iEino was a grand old buiKiing, -v"ith walls, mad. towers id Agates. It s surrounded by a large fwirk, rery iteaJtifully ornamented with i!-ees. its gardens were- full of rich .flowers, and mrcneroas luueiitms ent up refreshing jets of waiter.. The Count was growing old. at the time wTaea the inciden t of this s tory "odtrred. lie was a good and kind old mm,: and his great wealth enabled liim to bestow continual favors nspoin the tenants of ilia estaf e, many of wbora were as comfortable arid tappy iei tlfrear sseat, but touaakle cabins, as the Count was in his great castleCount liino had only one chiH a son who kad been for yoars ab sent fi-oni home. lie was known to the tenants of the Castle lands s a brxve, generous; boy, and his 'Absence was deplored by "them, almost as rauch as it was by-his father; especially as they all felt om flpprehension that be had fallen inthewarf, to en ' gage in which lie had gone forth full of enthusiasm ' and courage. : I ; ' die beautiful day, however, in the first .flush of J summer, thei-e came a letter froAi a remote part of the country, which the Count joyfully recognized , to be in the hand-writing of his beloved son, Henri. It stated tli at the regiment to which he belonged had been recalled, and that lie was eve thea on his way home, hut was obliged firft to go to Rome, and might be delayed a whole week. The news spread like wildfire in tlie neighbourhood 'of Castle ' Kino. Three days afterwards another letter was received, by a special courier, fixing the next Fri day as the day-upon which he Would arrive. It was now Monday, and.the whole interval was to be ejaptoyed ia preparation for a grand festival to wel come the wanderer back. A public feast was to be given in the great park, and all the people for miles around were to be bidden. Meanwhile, tents and arbors were erected, and gaily dressed with greens and with" gay streamers of colored cloths. All sorts ; of provisions were obtained from the neighboring towns. Meats, fruits and: confections " in larger" (Quantities -. were procured and only one . thing was wanting to grace the feast. That was fish to procure which vain -efforts had been made. The worthy Count, who was bent upon the grati fication of his wishes at anV cost, offered a consid- erable reward to any one wuo snouia onng m nsn ' in season for -the', feast. ' j The reward tempted, the peasant far and wide, and many of them sought to take fish for the occa sion. I ever was effort more unsuccessful. ' At length, quite early on the very morning of tainer of 'the Counts presented himself at the creat gate of the Castle, and to tlie angry rebuke ; of the porter, replied that he had brought a very ' fine turbot, at the same time showing, him the hsh in a basket. "Ho, ho," said the porter, " a turbot--and you expect to get the reward that oar master was fool ish enough to offer for a fish , - I shall be satisfied," said the old man, " with -whatever the good Count sees fit' to give me. :.i shall ask him for nothinar- for he and young mas tef Henri are welcome to all I have, little as it IS The porter had' not yet Opened .the door, but talked to the peasant through the ' iron grating. He now declared to tha Id man that he should riot enter the castle at all with his treasure. This grieved the fisherman sorely, and ,he seemed at a loss what to do. or to say. ; In vain did he beg to be admitted, and was going sorrowfully away, when the wicked porter offered to admit him if he woald agree to give him half the reward lie should get for his fish. ; . . ! "That! will willinpy pronKse,'" said the; man, with a kindling eye -for added he, it is better to have half a loaf than no bread." "" I There was a curious smile upon Ins Eps ;ashe passed through the open door, and the joter im- ' mediately suspected tkai lie wsiAi. try to get out of the castle without seeing him again. But this he resolved he eould not do, f watching would help it. "Not, mi&si, 5id the fisSieTHaaa tliink of any such thing. He was soon in the presence of the Ceunt, who was at breakfast '-rkfa. itasy friends, assembled to welcnnce the TetKrniag heir. " Ah, my' good old friend, Lttdovia,' said the Count, recognizing him, u have you tad tie good fortune to catch the fish ? lam very giad, for you are ".worthy of the reward I hav .offered. What shall it bei Name the sum and it is yours." , .. . . S " Thanks, my 5101)16 Count,"" said th.e old man, bowing low.. ' w Yeu really promise aae whatever I ask?" ' ' . ! " I do," said the Count. "Then, my good lord," said lie, M I claimas payment for this fish., ' one hundred lasses, tobe given on my bare back." ; : This demand created a burst ?f laaaghber, and tho Count said,;'. "K"ay, Ludovic, not thms womM I repay you, certainly." . , -: " u But you have promised," returaed the old man " and upon do other terms will I sell my fish." So strenuously did he 'insist- upon this strange recompense, that the Count and his friends conclu ded he was crazy, arid the former resolved to ac cede to his terms have the stripes laid oa lightly, in his presence, and afterwards give hica a. heavy purse. ' ' To the jurprise of all the company, the old man bore the infliction, which was' certainly not a severe one, without flinching, until fifty stripes had been given. jAt that joint he exclaimed, " Stog, if j'ou jlease -the rest, of the reward belongs to the excellent porter of the castle,-; who kindly allowed me to enter the gates upon condi tion that lie should have halt the pnee' i obtained. for my fish." ; , i j ."Ila! ha" said the Count, Jtnnaediatelyj um derstandiiag the whole matter : " that is the gam 3. is it ? Verily, it is an admirable one, and ye shrJ have some better sport yet. Let the pdrter iar summotfed, and mind you," added he, turning to the servant whp had so tenderly admioistered tlb stripes to the old fisherman, " pajr the rest of thi& odd bill in earnest. Let every mark be of full vail ue, John." , - 1 M The porter came with shame and fear into his. master's presence, and after a brief lesson from him on his hateful avarice, ho received his share: of the stripes, tlioUgh they were not" laid on as se--Vjerely, after all, as they might have been, for the--old man interceded in his behalf. He was dismiss ed from the Count's service, and the honest; fish erman appointed to fill his place in the castle. "The Count also gave Lim a purse of fifty gold pieces, as a dowry for hisonly daughter, pretty lass of eighteen, soon to be married to a neighbor's son. Thus did both the fisherman and the porter get their reward. " , ; LOCAL ADVERTISEMENTS. I A PROCl,AMATIOI. $j ' His Excellency David S.

SOME idea may be formed of the usefulness of this truly wonderful Paint, and the extent to which it is used, from the fact, that within a few m nths past, I have sold upwards of 5,000 pounds, and have this day ordered 15,000 pounds more. It has given entire satisfaction, and all who have houses to paint, will consult their interest by using it. It is the cheapest and most durable paint ever used. I have Col lin's Patent Refined Paint Oil, which is used for mixing with the paint atlpss than half the price of Linseed oil, and just as good. The paint and oil, I am prepared to sell at New-York and Philadelphia prices after adding the freight. All orders from town and country thankfully received and promptly executed by P. F.
