A double murder, cuused by jealousy, and the
suicide of the murderer, had startled tho manufac
turing town of Burnley. Norri*, a private in tho
60th Rifles, und servant to Lieut. Grady, finding
him wifli a young girl to whom he, Norris, was at

The Pine Tree (Shilling*.
From llawthorne'* Grandfather'* Chair.
Captain John Hull aforesaid was the mint-mas
ter of Mnssuchnsetts, and coined all the money
that was made there. This was a new line of bus •
ine**; for, in the earlier days ofthe colony, the cur
rent coinage consisted of gold and silver money of
England, Portugal, and Hnain. These coin* being
source, tho people were ofteti forced to baiter their
commodities intdead of selling them.
For instance, if a man wanted to buv a coat, he
I lerhnnsexchanged a bear-skin for it. Ifhe wished
or a barrel of molasses, lie might purchase it with
a pile of pino bonrds. Muskct-bullct* were used
hisle.nl of furfliing*. * The Indians had a sort of
money called wampum, which was made of clam
shells; nnd thi* strange sort of specie wu* likewise
taken in payment of debts by die English settler*.
Bnuk bills had never been heard of. There wus
not money enough of any kind, in many part of
tlie country, to pay tho salaries of the ministers; so
lhat they sometimes had to take quintals of fish
bushel* of corn, or cords of wood, instead of silver
or gold.
As the people grew more numerous, and their
trade one with another increase I, the want of cur
rent money was still more sensibly felt. To sup
ply tho demand, the general court passed a law for
establishing a coinage of shillincs, sixpences, nml
threepences. Captain John Huh was appointed to
manufacture this money, and wa* to have about one
shilling out of every twenty to pay him for bis
trouble of making them.
Hereupon, all. the old silver in (ho colony was
handed over to Capt. John Hull. Tho battered
silver cans and tankards, I suppose, and silver
buckles, nnd broken spoons, and silver button* of
worn-out-coats, and silver lulls of swords flint had
figured nt court—all such curious old article* were
doubtless thrown into the melting not together.
But hy far the greatest part of tho silver consisted
of bullion from the mines of South America, which
the English buccanicrs (who were little better than
pirates) had taken from the Spaniards and brought
te Massachusetts.
All this old nnd new silver being melted down
and coined, the result was an immense amount of
splendid shillings, sixpenses,nnd threepences. Each
lixJ iho Hut« of IU5'J on tlie one side, and the figure
of a pino tree on tho other. Ilenco they were cull
ed pine-tree shillings. And for every twenty-shil
ling* that he coined, you will remember, Captain
John Hull was entitled to but one shilling into his
own pocket.
The magistrates soon began to suspect that tha
raintmnster would liuve flic best ofthe bargain.
They offered him a large sum of money ifhe would
but give up that twentieth shilling, which he wus
continually dropping into his own pocket. But
Capt. Hull deefured uimself perfectly satisfied with
the shilling. Aud well he might bo, for so dilli-
gently did ho labour, that in u few years, his pock
et, Iu* money hags and hi* strong box. were over
flowing with pine tree shilling*. Thi* was proba
bly the case when he came into possession of
Grandfathers chnir, aud as he had worked so hard
at the mint, it was certainly proper tliat ho should
have a comfortable chair to rest himself on.
When the uiiut muster had grown very rich, a
n nif'ii, Samuel by name, came a conrlig to
ly daughter. Ills daughter—whose name I
do not know, but wo will call her Betsey—wo* a
fine hearty damsel, by uo uieansso slender us some
ng ladies of our own days. On the contrary,
ng always fed heartily ou pumpkin pies.doiigl.-
i,Indian puddings, and oilier Puritan dainties,
she wa* u rouud and as plump as a pudding her
self. With tliis round, rosy Miss Betsey did Sam
uel Sewell full in love. As lie was u young man of
good character, industrious in his business, and a
member of the church, the mint master very rcodi-
ly gave his assent. .
"Yes—you may take her,” said ho in his rough
way, “anu you’ll find her a heavy burthen enough!'
On the wedding day wc may suppose that hon
est John Hull dressed himself iu a plum colored
coat, all the buttons of which were made of pine-
tree shillings. Tho buttons of his waistcoat were
sixpences; and the knees of his small clothes were
buttoned with silver threepences. Thusuttircd,
he sat with great dignity iu Grandfather's cliair,
and, being a portly old getiflemuu, he completely
filled it from elbow to elbow. Ou the opposite
side of tlie room, between her bridesmaids sat Mira
Betsey, she was blushing with all her might, and
looked like a full grown pmony, a great apple, or
any other round and scarlet object.
There too wa* the bridegroom, dressed iu a fine
purple cont and gold laced woiscoat. with os much
other finery as tlie Puritan laws and customs would
allow him to put on, Ilis hair cropped close to
his head, because Governor Endicott bad forhiddou
any mull to wear it below the cars. But he was a
very personal young man; and so thought the’
brideuntidsand Miss Betsey herself.
The uiiut master was also pleased with his new
son-in-law; especially as he had courted Miss Bet
sey out or pure love, and had raid nothing at all
about her portion. So, when the marriage cere
mony was over, Captain Hull whispered a word or
two to his uien servants, who immediately went
out, nnd soon returned, tagging iti a pair ol scale*.
They were such a pair as wholesale merchants use
for weighing bulky commodities, nndqtiiteabniky
commodity wa* now to be weighed in them.
" Daughter Betsey," said thu mint-master, "get
into ono side of these scales."
Miss Betsey—or Mrs. Sewell, as wo must now
call her—did os she was bid, like a dutiful child,
without anv question ofthe why nnd wherefore.—
But what her father could mean, unless to make
her husband nay for her by the pound, (in which
case sho woujd have been a dear bargain,) she had
not the least idea. . •
"And now," raid honest John Hull to the ser
vants, "bring flint box hither."
The box, to which the mint master pojnted.was
. huge square iron-bound, oaken chest; it wa* big
enough my children, fomll four of you to pay at
biderand-scek in. Tho servants tugged with might
and main, bat eoald not lift this enormous recep
tacle, and were finally obliged to drag it across the
floor. Capt Hnll then took a key from his girdle,
unlocked toe chest, and lifted its ponderous lid.
Behold! it was full to the bntnof bright pine-tree
shillings, fresh from the mint; and Samuel Sowell
began to think that hi* father m-law bad get pos
session of all tlie money in tho Maasachusetts
treasury- But it was only die mint-master’s honest
4are ofthe coinage.
Then the servants, at Capt IIoH's command
hntpsd double band fulls of Stullings info one aide
of the scales, while Betsey remained in the other.
*'ttgle, jingle, went the shillings, as handftil after
ndful was thrown in. UU, plump and ponderous
site was, they Curly weighed the young lady
from tlie floor.
"There, son Sewell" cried tlie honest mint-mas
ter, resuming hi* seat In Grandfather’s chair, "take
