MISCELLANEOUS.
THE PINE TREE SHILLING.
BY NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE.
Captain John Hull was the mint master
of Massachusetts, and coined all the mo
ney that v. as made there. This was anew
line of business, for, in the earlier days of
the colony, the current coinage consisted
of the gold and silver money of England,
Portugal, and Spain. These coins being
scarce, tho people wore often forced to bar
ter their commodities instead of selling
them.
For instance if a man wanted to buy a
coat, ho perhaps exchanged a bear skin for
it. If he wished for a barrel of molasses,
lie might purchase it with a pile of pine
boards. Musket bullets were used instead
of farthings. The Indians had a sort of
money, called wampum, which was made
of clamshells; and this strange sort of
specie was likewise taken in payment of
debts by the English settlers. Bank bills
had never been heard of. There was not
money enough of any kind, in many parts
of the country, to pay their ministers, so
that they sometimes had to take quintals of
fish, bushels of corn, or cords of wood, in
stead of silver or gold.
As the people grew more numerous, and
their trade one with another increased, the
want of current money was still more sen
sibly felt. To supply the demand, the
general court passed a law for estaclishing
a coinage of shillings, sixpences, and three
pences. Captain John Hull was appointed
to manufacture this money, and was to
have about one shilling out of every twen
ty, to pay him for the trouble of making
them.
Here upon, all the old silver in the colo
ny was handed over to Captain John Hull.
The battered silver cans and tankards, I
suppose, and silver buckles, and broken
spoons, and silver buttons of wornout coats,
and silver hilts of swords that had figured
at court, all such curious old articles were
doubtless thrown into the melting pot to
gether But by far the greater part of the
silver consisted off bullion from the mines

of South America, which the English buc
eanniers, (who were little hotter than pi
rates,) had taken from the Spaniards, and
brought to Massachusetts.
All this old and new silver being melted
down and coined, the result was an im
mense amount of splendid shillings, sixpen
ces and threepences. Each had tho date
1652, on the one side, and the figure of a
pine tree on tho other. lienee they were
called pine tiee shillings. And fur every
twenty shillings that lie coined you will re
member, (kipt. John 1 lull was entiled to put
otic shilling in his own pocket.
The Magistrates soon began to suspect
that the mint-master would have the best of j
the bargain. They oftered him a large
sum of money, if lie would give up that I
twentieth shilling, which he was continual
ly dropping into his own pocket. Rut Cap
tain Hull declared that ho was satisfied
with the shilling. And well he might be :
for so diligent did lie labor, that, in a few
years, his pockets, his money bags, and his
strong box were overfiowing with pine tree
shillings. This was probably the ease,
when lie came into possession of Grandfa
ther’s chair ; and as he had worked so hard
at the mint, it was certainl}- proper that he j
should have a comfortable chair to rest !
himself on.
When tho mint-master had grown very
rich, a young man, Samuel Sewell by
name, came a courting his only daughter.
Ilis daughter—whose name I do not know;
but we will call her Betsey—was a fine,
hearty damsel, by no means so slender as
some young ladies of our days. On the
contrary, having always feel heartily on
pumkin pics,dough nuts, Indian puddings,
and other puritan dainties, she was as round,
and plump asa pudding. With this round,
rosy Miss Betsey, did Samuel Sewell fall
in love. As ho was a young man of good
character, industrious in business, and a
member of tho church, the mint-master ve
ry readily gave his consent.
“ Yes—you may take her,” said he, in
his rough way, “ and you will find her a
heavy burden enough.”
On the wedding day we may suppose that
honest John Hull dressed himself in a plain
colored coat, all the buttons of which were
made of pine tree shillings. The buttons
of his waistcoat were sixpences; and the
knees of his small clothes were button: and
with silver threepences. Thus attired, lie
sat with great dignity in his grandfather’s
chair ; and being a portly old gentleman,
lie completely filled it from elbow to elbow.
On the opposite side of the room, between
her bride-maids, sat Miss Betsey. She was
blushing with all Iter might, and looked
like a full blown pceony, a great red
apple, or any other round and scarlet ob
ject.
There, too, was the bridegroom, dress
ed in a fine purple coat, and gold lace
waistcoat, with as much other finery as the
Puritan laws and customs would allow him
to put on. His hair was cropt close to his
head, because Gov. Endicott had forbidden
any man to wear it below the ears. But
he was a very personal young man ; and
so thought the bride maids and Miss Betsey
herself.
The mint master also was pleased with
his new son-in-law ; especially as he had
said nothing at all about her portion. So
when the marriage ceremony was over,
Captain Hull whispered a word to two of
his men-servants, who immediately went
out, and soon returned, lugging in a large
pair of scales. They were such a pair as
wholesale merchants use for weighing bul
ky commodities ; and quite a bulky com
modity was now to bo weighed in them.
“Daughter Betsey,” said the mint-mas
ter,”get into one side of those scales.”
Miss Betsey—or Mrs. Sewell, as we
must now call her—did as she was bid,
like a dutiful child, without any question
of why and wherefore. But what her fa
ther could mean, unless to make her hus
band pay lor her by the pound, (in which
case she would have been a dear bargain.)
she had not the least idea.
“And now,” said honest John Hull to the
servants, “bring that box hither.”
Tho box, to which t he mint-master poin
ted, was a huire, square, iron-bound, oaken
chest ; it was big enough, my children,
for all four of you to play hide-and-seek in.
The servants tugged with might and main,
but could not lift this enormous recepticle,
and were many obliged to drag it across
tho floor. Capt. Hull then took a key from
his girdle, unlocked the chest, and lifted
its ponderous lid. Behold! it was full to
the brim of bright pine-tree shillings, fresh
i from the mint, and Samuel Sewell began to
’ think that his father-in-law had got posses
sion of all the money in the Massachusctt-
Trea ury. But it was only the mint-mas
tor's honest share of the coinage.
Then the servants, at Captain Hull's
command, heaped double handfuls of shil
lings into one side of the scales, while Bet J
sey remained in the other. Jingle gingle. ■
went the .shillings, us handful after hand-
fill was tliown in, till, plump and ponder- |
ous as she was, they fairly weigh ‘d the I
young lady from the floor.
“There, son Sewell !” cried the honest !
mint master, resuming his seat ingrandfa- j
ther's chair, “take these shillings lor my I
daughter’s portion. Use her kindly, and j
thank Heaven for her. It is not every wife
that's worth her weigh in silver !”
The children laughed heartily at the ‘
legend, and would hardly be convinced but
that grandfather bad made it out of his i
own head. He assured them faithfully,
however, that he had found it in pages of a :
grave historian, and had merely tried to tell i
it in a somewhat funnier style.
“Well, grandfather,” remarked Clara, i
••if wedding portions now.a-duys were paid
as Miss Betsey's was, young ladies would
not pride themselves upon an airy figure,
as many of them do.”
THE MISER OF BRUGES.
“Judge not according to the appearance, but j
judge righteous judgement.”
“Will you be at Lindenberg’s to right?”
enquired the young Count Rosenheim of
a brother officer, as they lounged together,
after morning parade, in the Prn'cr of
Vienna.
“Certainly, it will be a gay affair; the
old gentleman is determined to celebrate ,
his idol’s majority with all fitting pomp and i
circumstance I”
“So they say: think you h. is cog- 1
nizant of his son’sreckless extravagance ?”
“ Assuredly not. Well, I can make the ;
florins fly fast enough myself, but hang it. I
the sums ho squanders would exhaust the |
imperial treasury. 1 sometimes play Men
tor to him, but he laughs at my homilies, j
and leaves me, that lie may perpetrate j
some fresh folly and go on sacrificing in \
perspective his father’s woods and fop sail I
purchase, perchance, a counterfeit Titian,
or veritable antique—manufactured last j
year.”
“ Well it is no business of ours; l.lric j
is a pleasant fellow, and this father has a
famous cellar; till the evening, adieu 1
and the friends separated.
The evening arrived, and the magnifi ]
cent hotel, the residence of tho Baron Von
Linderberg, beamed with light ; n.l sph.’ti- ,
dour. Every auxiliary which taste could
invent or wealth produce, lent i:said oi: tin
occasion ; the rarest exotics flung incense j
around ; music breathed its soft and sweet
est strain, and the loveliest and noblest j
of tho Viennese gave tic charm oi their ,
presence, as the crowning gem ofthe festi
val .
As the reader will have already, learned
the fete was commemorative of the expira- ;
tion of the minority of the baron’s only
child : born at the price of a beloved wife’s
existence, and bearing in his outward form j
the beautiful lineaments of her In had lost, j
Ulric had ever been to his father’s heart the
one hope, aim, and purpose of life. By
temperament warm and ardent, tho alt’ e- 1
tion he had bestowed on his bride partook :
almost of the nature of worship. But d< atli
arrested tho tide of gushing tenderness : the !
treasure was stricken from liis grasp ; for 1
awhile he remained “ as one that would !
not be comforted ;” but the daily sight of
his boy awakened new springs of feeling in !
his breast, and the affluence of love lavish- |
ed on the mother was transferred to the
child, with, if possible, more prodigal ex
cess. Was it the baneful effect of unre
strained indulgence ? was it to enforce the
stern but salutary lesson, that earthly idols |
ever yielded to the immortal nature that I
blows at their shrine a harvest of grie ( ’“ nf l
bitterness ? For so it was *'- al ‘ r ‘ c
paid back in lip homage *- ,e affection ol his
father. Absorbed selfish enjoyment, the
slave of paeons as strong as they were
undisc’ptinf and, rarely did lie seek that fath
er's presence, unless to task his generosity
to its extremest extent, to furnish forth the
gold which care and calculation had accu
mulated, for the revel of profligacy and
licentiousness.
When questioned as to the disbursement
of the large sums which passed into hie
possession, ho referred to the purchase of
some new object of art or virtu, or im
posed on the credulous baron the belief, .
that
“ Want had preferred its claim, misery j
its appeal,” and he had answered the do- |
niand with overflowing liberality.
H. J . It Al B I* i: i,, ria 1 1
I Gli! the trustfulness of the loving—the
. blind rel lance, the implicit conviction, in
tlm worthiness ol the beloved ! Sweet and
blissful are the moments we number while
the illusion flings its spell over our sens; s !
But who shall toll the darkness—the an
guish of those hours, when the mist of en
chantment is dissolved, and we see in the
trusted and cherished, the cold, the false, tin
heartless !
It was tiie morning following the fete re
ferred to, while the baron and his son wore
engaged in the transfer and negotiation of
property consequent on his attaining the
age of twenty-one, that the startling hitelli
gence was received of the total failure of a
large commercial speculation, in which the
baron was deeply involved. This was but
the herald of other and heavier losses.—
The tide of prosperity which had so long
rolled towards him, ebbed suddenly ; a lew
weeks saw tho splendid hotel of Von Lin
denberg pass into stranger hands ; the no
ble territories of his ancestors under alien
sway : and he, the richest banker of Vien
na—the feted, flattered, caressed million
aire—a bankrupt ! Heavy was the blow
the utter bereavment of property inflicted ;
painful the trial to see the summer friends
of life fall off one by one when adversity
flung its shadows over him. But there
was a severe ordeal yet for him to pass
through. It was to hear the son, for whom
he had toiled, for whom lie would emulate
life or liberty, reproach and taunt him
with a want of prudence and foresight and
attribute to his “ folly” tho catastrophe
which had cngulphed them.—threaten to
abandon him in his hour of need, and leave
him the already crushed and afflicted, with
the agonized remembrance,
“ ! low sharper than a serpent's tooth it ,
To have a thankless child !”
\nd lie did abandon him, and left the city :
none knew wither ho fled—few eared. Ho
was heard of no more. Then came the
startling- knowledge to the father that his
idol was a prodigal and a spendthrift ; that
he had contracted debts to a fearful amount,
which the appropriation of every acre and
florin he possessed sufficed not to liquidate.
The proud spirit of the baron sunk under
this unexpected humiliation. lie could
not meet the urgent creditor, the defrauded
artificer. Day by day lie forsook his ac
customed haunts, and in a short time was
sc n no more in Vienna.
* * * * * *
i It was midnight. In a small apartment
, in the •• Rue do Namur” of the city of
j Bruges sat Pierre Anhault, whose cecamtn
; cities and penurious habits, carried out to
tho < xtrcinest limit of stinting parsimony,
had for some years obtained tor him the
sottbiii/uc! ot the “ Miser of Bruges. Fhc
loom which he tenanted, small and low
roofed, was destitute of every accessory to
comfort or convenience, containing no oth
er furniture save the chair on which he sat.
a rude table and the wretched pallet which
served him for a bed ; a cup of cold water,
a loaf of bread, so coarse and rupe in
quality, that the lowest beggar, urged by
the cravings of want, would have, hesitated
to partake ofit, were placed upon the table,
and were the only substitute for supper,
night by night, provided. Little was known
of him ; the curiosity directed towards him
on his first settlement in the city, five years
previous, had obtained, during the inter
vening period, no elucidation. No letter
had he been known to receive, —uo visitor
was seen to cross his thrcshhold. 1 [is sole
