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

with the victory he had won for Alexander;
issued it over two thousand years ago.
After subserving the purpoSes of 'Athenian

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..
All that distinguishes;us from. the ,Pagan
world—all that makes us, what-we are; and
all that - stimulates us in the,task of making
ourselves' better than , we :Christi
anity. A belief Jesus Christ is :'the
very fountain
, head of 'everything that
desirable and praiseworthy ,in our criiliza
tiony and 'this civilization is the flower of
time. Humanity has reached its noblest
thrift, its 'grandest attitudes of ;excellence;its high-water mark, through the''. influence
of his faith. • ••: • '
'And now we are 'told, in - the niost'kind
and complacent languageythat- Jesus Christ
was a'humbug,•that Christianity is a myth;
arid that the Old TeStament, out of Which
the New comes like the ear• out of the
blade, or the flower out of the bud, by its
own august profession, is a huge batch of
absurdities, with no valid claim to our re
