BtsrtitaniTits THE 11.0MKNei_OF COINS. The December number of The Continen .„l Monthly, has a lively article under the huading " The Beadles of the Root of All I;vit," hio h we copy at random a few of the illustrations given. One of the saddest pictures in all history; is the firsVmention that is made of money.' Sarah was dead, and Abraham was sojourn ing aprng strangers in a strange land. He mourned for his wife, and stood up before the sons of Heth, and begged of them to intercede with Ephron, the Hittite, for the cave of Machpelah, as a burial place. Ephron liberally offered him the cave and the field, hut the patriarch insisted upon payment; whereupon the Hittite 'answered: "My lord, hearken unto me; the rand is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt, me and thee? BUry, therefore, thy dead." Abraham weighed the " four hundred shekels of silver current (money) with the merchant," and the, field and the trees and the eaves were Abraham'S, and Sarah was buried. The ,first use of money is the last, and the cave, of. Machpe lah, typical of the last resting place. of all men, is the most important hecauSe the most imperative use of money. He that hoards and he that squanders, Crcesus and. Lazarus, at the end of life; provided they have money enough to purchase, their caves of Machpelah, have fortune enough, and more than enough, for they 'may -not, carry gold and silver with the through ,the valley of the ,Shadow., We ,huy and sell, we loan and speculate, we hoard our shining wealth as Crcesus hoarded the golden sands, of Paetolus in the treasury of Deliti:;zbut when we come to the cave of. Machpelah, we leave it at the entrance, and go into the' darkness unencumbered. The mina of Constantine the Great, 806 A. D., will always remain of peculiar inte rest, as connected with the early history of Christianity. Constantine, after forcing his brother-in-law Lucinius, from his Eastera, dominions / built Constantinople, and made Christianity the'State religion. The prin cipal emblermupon his coins is the Labarum, or sacred bangeri be the monogram of Christ—Ehe letter's X and P—[the Greek initials for ,Christ,] the angles of which are occupied by the first and last letters'of the Greek alphabet, Alpha and Omega, in allu sion to Christ's declaration in Revelation. A rarer type of Constantine's coins has,the monogram, and the legend, In hoc sign vinces. The signum was the vision of a beautiful cross in the heavens, which was presented to the view of Constantine, near Milan, during his march against Maxentius. To this cross he attributed both his'victory and conversion. The first manifestation of displeasure be tween the mother country and the colonies, was with Massachusetts, of course. old Bay' State was as impatient',; oward Masters then, as later in. the Revolution against George, and - still. later 6w,ith- the slaveholders. Charles IL Vas ilittleased with the colonists for coining money, which he considered his prero and in:- timated to Sir Thomaw: To -- #:p - fertltift - aiksyt must be punished, and the husinesi itopPed: Sir Thomas was considerable of a wag, and showed the king one of Itcnest John Hull's shillings, on the reverse , Of which was the pine tree. The king asked, him,, what, sort of a tree that was. L/poit Thick Sin ThOthas replied that, of course; 4ai 'the oak, which had saved his • majesty's, life: The king smiled at the courtier's'wit; but' it is not reported that he allowed Hull to continue the coinage. . • Coins have figured in' sermons. BishoP Latimer, on the Bth of 4areh, 1549, de 7 livered the following sarcastic sermon. On a previous occasion he had spoken jestingly of the new currency of EdWard VI. ror this he was accused Of sedition, which charge he answered thus.-: " Thus they burdened me even with sediL tin. And wot ye what? I chanced in my last sermon to speak a merry-word of a new shilling, to refresh my auditory, how I was like to put . a imy new'shilling for an• old groat. I was .:lerein noted to speak seditiously. . • have now gotten one more fellows, a companion of Sedition; and wet you who is my fellowe ? Esay (Isaiah):the prophet. 1 spake but- of a little, prettie shilling; but ho speaketh to Jerusalem after another sort, and„ was so bold as to meddle with their coynes. ' Thou proud, thou haughty city of Jerusalem. Argenta m. mum versum est in scoriam;' thy silver is turned into what? into testious scoriam, into dross. Ah! seditious wretch !,, what had he to do with the mint? Why should . he not have left that matter to some masters of policy to reprove ? Thy silver is dross , ; it is not fine ; it is counterfeit ; thy silver is turned; thou hadst no silver; What pertained that to Esay ? Marry, he re plied, a piece of diversity in that policy; he threateneth God's vengeance for it. " He went to the root of the matter, which was covetousness, which became him to reprove; or else that it tended to the hurt of poore people; for the naughtiness of the silver was the occasion of dearth of all things in the realm. He imputeth it to them as a crime. He may be called a !caster of sedition indeed. Was not this a, seditious fellow to tell them this even to their faces ?' In England, iuring the reign of George 111., an aot was passed to amend an,act of the 51st of the king, respecting the gold coin and the notes of the Bank of England. Hy this act the provisions of the former statute were extended to ; and the notes of the 'bank 'there were placed upon the same basis as those of the Bank of Eligland. While this act was passing the House, the following epigram appeared in the public papers : BANK NOTES AND GUINEAS " Bank notes, it is said, once guineas defied - To swim to a point in fame's foaming tide ; -134 t ere they could reach' the opposite brink, Bank notes cried to gold: 'Help its, cash - us, we sink l' That Paper should sink and guineas should ; swim, . . appear to some folks a ridiculous whim ; B ut before they condemn,' let them hear this suggestion: i n Pun making, gtavity's out of the ques tion." THE AMERICAN TRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1865 ••Trak7 •mmem••••._ There is a romantic incident in the early history of Massachusetts, which has been often told. Money was scarce, and in 1652 the General Court passed a law for the coinage of sixpences and shillings. Captain John Hull *as appointed the mint:master, ,arid Was.to litioid one shilling in everytweitty for his labor. All the old silver in the colony, wornout plate, battered tankards, buekles r and spoons, and, espcOally-the bul lion seiiict liy"the bucCanters 'then sailing the Spanish Main (for all was honest that, came to Hull's melting pot), was brought in for coinage,'and the Inint-ma r stei rapidly grew ~to.`be-.. the millionaire of the colony, and suitors came from far and wide for the' hand of his daughter. Among them was Samuel Sewall, who was the favorite of the plump and thazom miss. `Hull, the mint master, roughly- gave, his consent : "Take her," said he, "and you will find her a heitty bitideti enough.' The wedding day came, and the captain, tightly buttoned up with shillings, and sixpences, sat -in his grandfather's 'chair till the ceremony was concluded. Then he ordered his servant to bring in a huge pair of scales. " Daughter," said ttlie 7 mint-maSter, -" go into otic side of the scales.", Mrs. Sewall obeyed, and then the mint-niaster had hi§ strong box brought nny.a pr immense- iron-bound oaken- chest,. which,Ap: servants ; were ohliged, , to drag , over the floor. Then the mint-master un-' lockeddtheachest, and ordered the - servants to fill ,the other side of the scales with shil lingiand sixpences. Plump Mrs. Sewall' bore down hard upon her side of the scales, but still the servants - shoveled in the bright,' fresh pine-tree shillings, until Mrs. Sewall began to rise. Then the mint-master' ordered them to forbear. " There, son Sewall," said the magnanimous old money. maker, " take these shillings for my &ugh- , ter's portion. Use her kindly, and thank ; Heaven for her; for it is not every wife: that is worth, her weight in silver." And Master Sewall took Mistress Sewall and: thirty thousand "pounds pounds (not avoirdlipois, but steiqing). I hold• in my hand a huge.dron.token , which Ptolemy struck in , comineutoration• of his conquest of Egypt,..and by its Side 'the new two-Cent piece•of the United States,. fresh and sparkling from the'Mint at Phila delphia.,.. The one antiquated,.,rnde s „.enrro4 ded, and begrimed in its long conflict with time;And the other bright and vivid; its field and exergue unmarred, its emblems and legends clear and sharp. The coin of Ptolemy has a history. The obverse gives us un dqubteclly the.lead, otjnpirer, the cloud bearer,' rugged, massive, -stern, uiron 'fea tured, taurine neck, hair in great serpentine coils and shocks; the reverse, a magnificent spread eagle, and:the inscription in Greek, Basileus Ptolemaion: Ptolemy, flushed with the victory he had won for Alexander; issued it over two thousand years ago. After subserving the purpoSes of 'Athenian barter, some swarthy Egyptiannbtained it; but our friend 'the Egyptian, in - time was gathered - to his fathers. He was erabaimed, and sleptin the shadow of. the Pyramid; Where rtzyaFpredecessortrwereeleeping, and by the side of the eternal Sphynx, whose riddle he could not read in life.'

MODERN INFIDELITY. Suppose the Strausses and Colensos and Renans and. theitfiympathizers could do all ,they wish to de : what then?, Suppose the Old Testament were absolutely proved to be a bundle of fables and unreliable history, with no more of authority or divinity in them than there is in the vedas of the Hin doos; -that Christianity is a myth; that its founder was only "au amiable enthusiast;" that his followers were'no more than a band -of-remarkable fanatics; that we have 110_ authoritative deelaration of the will of Je hovah:-, that our, religion which lies at the basis of our civilization is itself baseless; "that we, as a Christian people, live and move and have our being in a stupendous lie; what then? What then? Man is only an animal. If the Being who made him has not had consideratioU enough for him to reveal to him His will,- then he. is not of the slightest consequence. These horrible wars, which drown the world in sorrow, are the ,mere squabbles of a crowd of insects, too insig nificant for the divine notice. These dreams of moral purity, these aspirations after spiritual excellence, these promises of these loving Out-reach ings towards the everlaiting Father, these impulses toward a divine life, these cruel ftiions of lust, this proud assumption of a nature higher than that of the horse we drive, and the floc , we caress, are all miser able mistakes. We ' are spawned upon the world like swine. We die like swine. Our life comes in and goes out without mean ing. It is all a farce that does not rise in dignity above the sham parades 13f - children. If there is no authoritative revelation of immortality in the Bible, then there is no authoritative revetation of.„ it anywhere.; Let us eat and drink, for- to-mclkiow .we die. Again, - what`then ? Wijat; . vihen we, have set the Bible aside and renouneed our: hope of immortality, and thrown ofrallJotiri moral and religious obligations, and quished the- leadership; of the Sa.vinir of i men, shall we do for crestraining power to keep society togpther ;'at all ? If Men; ShOuld be coriVirteed,,that; they are irn'lyl animals, that God takes no notice of - them,- and does not care •enough about them to • teach theni and "command them, whose property will be safe ? whose bed will be unViolated? whose life will be sacred? who will be secure from the unrestrained; avage§ of ,appetite and every base passion -that finds its home in the human heart? OUr sons will grow'into fiends. Our danghters will: be prostitutes from childhoOd. :We shall descend into halfoivilization, or abso lute barbarism, with no sufficiently poief ful motive to resist the fall. No candid :observer will deny that what, ever of good there may be in our Aineri can civilization:is the product of Christi anity. Still less can he deny that the grand , motives which are working 'for the eleva tion and 'purification of our society are strictly Christian. The immense:. energies; of the Christian Church, stimulated by a love that shrinki from no Obstacle, are all' bent toward this great aim of general pnri-' fication. These millions of sermons and exhortations, which: . are ;'a constant power for good, these ceuntless prayers and songs of praise ^on which the heavy-laden:, lift their hearts above the temptatiens and': the' sorrows of the world, are all the product of faith in Jesus Christ.i • That which gives: 118 . protection by daY and by night—the, dwellings-we live in, the clothes-we wear, the institutions of social ordeiall these 'are the direct - Offspring of 'Christianity..
