The Pine-Tree Stall ling. BY HAWTHORN*. Cap!. John Hull was the rninl-mas- ler of Massachusetts, anti coined all the money that was made. His was a new line of business; for, in the earlier day: of the colony, the current coin was tht gold and silver money of England, Por tugal and Spain. These coins l»eitig scarce, the people were often forced to barter their commodities instead of selling them. For instance, ii a man wanted to buy a coat, he perhaps, exchanged a be •kin lor it; if he wished a barrel of m lasses, he might purchase it for a pile of pine boards. Musket bullets were used instead of farthings. The Indians bad a son of money called wampum, winch was made of clam shells ; and this si range sort of specie was like wise taken in payment of debts by English settlers. Bank bills hnd never been heard of. There was not money enough of any kind, in many parts of the country, to pay their ministers; Bo that they had to take quintals of fish, bushels of corn, or cords of wood, instead of silver and gold.

Captain Hull whispered a word to two of bis men servants, who imme diately went out, and Soon returned logging in a large pair of scales.— They were such a pair as wholesale merchants use for weighing; a bulky commodity was now to be weighed in them. “ Daughter Betsy,” said the mint- master, “ go info one side of the scales.” Miss Bei**y—or Mrs. Sea well as we must now call her—did as she was bid, like a dutiful child, without any ques tion of why or wherefore. But whaj her father could mean, unless to make her husband pay for 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 his servants bring that box’hilher.” The box to which the mint-master pointed was a huge, 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 all their might and main, but could not even lifi ibis enormous receptacle, am! were finally obliged to drag it across the floor. Captain Hull then took a key out of his girdle, unlocked the chest, lifted the poudernn3 lid.

The battered silver cans and tankards, I suppose, and silver buck les and broken spoons, and silver bills of swords that had figured at court, all such curious old articles were doubt less thrown into the melting pot togeth er. By far the greater part of the sil ver consisted of bullion from the mines of South America, which the English buccanicrs, (who were little better (ban C irates,) had taken from Spaniards and rought to Massachusetts.
