THE MINT-MASTER S DAUGHTER.
BY GRANDFATHER WHITEHEAD.
Captaijt John Hull was the mint-master
of Massachusetts, and coined all the money
that was made. His was a new line of
busbies ; lor, in the earlier days of ilie
colony, the current coinage consisted of
the gold and silver money of England,
Poitugal and Spain. These coin being
scarce, the people were olten forced 10
barter their commodities instead of selling
them. For instance, if a in. in wanted to
buy a coat, he perhaps exchanged a bear
skin for it; if he wished for a barrel of
molasses, he might purchase it for a pile
of pine boards. Musket balls were used
instead of farthing?. The Indians had a
nun of money called wampum, which was
made of clam-shells, and this strange kind
of specie was hiiewias taken in payment
of debt by English settlers. Hank bills
had never been heard of. There was not
money enough of any kind, in many paris
of the country, to pay their minister; so
that they had sometimes to lake quintals
of fish, bushels of corn, or cords of wood,
instead of silver and gold.
As the people grew more numerous,
ar.d their trade with one another increased,
the want of current money was still more
sensibly felt. To supply tiie demand,
General Court passed a law for cstabiish-
ir.g a coinage of shillings anJ sixpence
Captain liull was appointed to manufac
ture this money, and was to have one
shilling oat of every twenty, to pa him
for his trouble in making for them. .
Hereupon, all the old silver in the colo
ny was handed over to Captain Hull.
The battered siiier cans and tankards, I
ruppose, and silver buckles and broken
poous, and silver hilts of swords that had
figured at Court all such curious old
articles were doubtless thrown into the
melting-pot together. But by far the
greater part of the silver consisted f bul
lion from the mines of South America,
which the English buccaneers (who were
lifle tetter than piiates) had taken from
the Spaniard! and brought to Massachu
setts. All this old and new silver being melted
down and coined, the result was an im
mense amount of splendid shillings, six
pences and threepences. Each had the
date of 1G52 on ihe one side, and the
figure of a pine tree on the other side.
Hence they were called pine-tree shillings.
And for every twenty shillings that he
coined, you will remember, Captain John
Hull was entitled to put one shilling into
k is
own pocket.
1 lie magistrates soon
uegan
to suspect that tha mint-master
would have the oest 01 me uargain. i ney
offered him a large sum of money if he
would give up that twentieth shilling,
which he was continually dropping into
his pocket. But Captain Hull declared
that he was perfectly satisfied with the
shilling; and well he might be, for so dil
igently did he labour tiiat in a few years
his pockets, his money bags, and his
strong box were overflowing witli pine
tree shillings. This was probably the
case when he came into possession of his
grandfather' chair; and, as he worked so
hard at the mini, it was certainly proper
that he should have a comfortable chair to
rest himself on.
When the mint-master was grown very
rich, a voung man, Samuel Sewell by
name, came courting his daughter Betsy,
a fine, hearty damsel, by no means so
slender as some young ladies of our own
days. On the coutrary, having always
fed heartily on pumpkin pies, doughnuts,
Indian puddings, and other Puritan dain
ties, she was as round and plump as a
pudding herself. With this round, rosy
Miss. Betsy did Samuel Sewell fall in
love. As he was a young man of good
character, industrious in his business, and
a member of the church, the mint-master
very 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
thai honest John iluil dressed himself in
a plain coat, all the buttons of which were
made of pine-tree shillings. The buttons
ot his waistcoat were sixpences, and the
knees of his small cloths were buttoned
with silver threepences. Thus attired, he
sat with great dignity in his grandfather's
chair, and being a portly old gentleman,
he completely . filled it from elbow to
elbow. On the opposite side of the room,
between her bridesmaids, sat Miss Betsy.
She was blushing with all her might, and
looked like a lull-blown peony, a great
red apple, or any other round and scarlet
object.
There, too, was the bridegroom, dressed
in a fine purple coat ami gold-lace waist
coat, with as much other finery as the
Puritan laws and customs would allow

diem to put on. His hair was cropt close
o his head, because Governor Endicolt
iiad forbicden any man to wear it below
his ears. Hut he was a very personable
young man; and so thought the brides
maids and Miss Betsy herself.
The mint-master was also pleased with
his new son in-law, especially as he had
said nothing at all about her portion So
when thtt marriage ceremony was over.
Captain Hull whispered a word or two to
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 ; a
bulky commodity was now to be weighed
in them.
Daughter Betsy," said the mini-master,
'go into one side of the scales"
M iss Betsy or Mrs. Sewell, as we
must now call "her did as she was bid,
like a dutiful child, without any question
of a why or wherefore. But what her
fatiier could mean, unless to make her
husjand pay tor her by the pound, (in '
which case &ne wouiu nave oeen a
I. ... 1.1 i
uear
bargain,) she had not the least idea.
And now," said honest John Hull
to
his servants, "bring that box hither."
The box to which the mint-master
pointed, was a huge, square, iron-bound
oaken chest; it was big enough to play
hide and seek in.
The servants tugged with might and
main, but could not nt't this enormous re
ceptacle, and were finally obliged to drag
it across the floor.
Captain Hull then took a key out of
his girdle, unlocked the chest, and lifted
its ponderous lid. Behold, it was full to
the brim of bright pine-tree shillings, fresh
from the mint, and Samuel Sewell began
to think that his father-in-law had got
possession of all the money in Massachu
setts' treasury. But it was the mint
master's honest share of t ie coinage.
Then the servants, at
Captain Hull's
command, heaped double
handfulis of
shillings into one side of
the scales, while

went the shillings, as handful after
handful were thrown 111, till, plump and
ponderous as she was, they weighed the
young lady from the floor.
"There, son Sewell," cried the honest
mint-mjSier, resuming his seat in his
graudiather's chair, "take these shillings
lor my daughter's portion. Use her kindly,
and thank heaven for her, for it is not
every wife that's worth her weight in
silver !"
We laughed heartily at this legend, and
would haidly be convinced hut grandfather
had nuJj it out of his own head. He
assured us faithfully , however, that he had
found it in the pages of a grave historian,
and merely hail tried to tell it in a some
what funnier style.
Well, grandfather," remarked Clara,
'if wedding portions now-a-davs were

would uol pride themselves upon an airy
figure, as many of them do."

EBEIVS13URG, THURSDAY,
How a Toiler Collected a DtlL
Near the close of ihe last century, a
Quaker knight of the shears and thimble,
who exercised his avocation in Philadel
phia, was imposed upon by an adroit
scoundrel, who contrived to get a suit of
clothes en credit, and afterwards sloped
without paying for them. The Quaker
was too poor to lose the debt, but like too
many others of his cloth, had apparently
no alternative. The account was placed
on his books and soon forgotten. Some
years afterward he was examining his old
records of debt and credit, profit and loss,
when his attention was attracted to this
account, and all the circumstances attend
ing it came to his mind. Suddenly an
odd thought presented itself.
"I'll try ;?n experiment," said he to
himself; "perhaps I may succeed in catch
ing the rogue and getting my money."
He immediately prepared an advertise
mcnt in substance as follows, which he
inserted in the Philadelphia Gazette :
'If J-
C-
vvho was in Philadel
phia, about the month ot , in the year
1795, will send his address to the editor of J
this paper, he will hear ot something to sponded the Quaker; "I only promised

States are requested to copy." : vantage; and is it not to the advantage of
The latter clause was inserted from a i a noor tailor to collect an old debt?"
vague suspicion that the rogue had taken
up his abode in New York.
Having instructed the editor not to dis- I
close his name to the rogue if he should
call, but to request of the latter to leave
his address, the Quaker patiently awaited
the result of his experiment. In a short
time he was informed, by a note from the !
printer, that the individual alluded to ,
having arrived from New York, might be j
found at a given place in the city.
The tailor lost no time in preparing a .
transcript of his account, not forgetting to j
charge the interest from the time the debt !
was incurred. Taking a constable with .
him, who bore a legal process suited to ,
the occasion, he soon arrived at the lodg
ings of the swindler. The constable was
instructed to stand off a little distance, till
the signal should indicate the time for him
to approach.
The QuaKer now rang ihe bell, and
when tile servant approached, requested
him to inform the genleman of whom he
was in search, that a friend wished to
speak with him at the door.
The man obeyed the summons, and
soon both debtor and creditor were looking
each other in the face.
"How dost thou do?" kindly inquired
the Quaker. "Perhaps thcu dost not
know me."
"I believe I have not had the pleasure
of your acquaintance," politely answered
our hero.
Dost thou remember purchasing a suit
of clothes several years ago, of a poor
tailor and forgetting to pay for them ?"
asked lite Quaker.
"Oh, no," said the gentleman, blushing
slightly; "you must be mistaken in the
person. It cannot be me tiiat you wish
to find."
"Ah, John ! I know thee very well.
Thou art the very man I wished to see.
Thou hast on at tiiis very moment the
very waistcoat 1 made for thee. Thou
hast acknowledged it was pood stuff, and
. ui , . n.i
laSted thee
welt made, or it could not have
so long."
"Oh, yes !' said the gentleman, appear
ing suddenly to recollect himself, ! do
remember now the circumstance to which
: you allude. Yes, yes. I had intended to
call and settle that Utile bill before leaving
j Philadelphia, and you may depend upon
: my doing so. 1 have come here to take
possession of a property which has been
, left me by will. See ! here is the adver-
tisement which apprised me of my very
good
fortune."
Here he handed the Quaker a N. York
paper containing a copy of the advertise
ment, w hose history w e have given above.
The Quaker looked at it with imperturable
gravity, and continued
"Yes, 1 see thou art in luck, but as rny
demand is a small one, 1 think I must in
sist on payment before thee comes into
possession of thy large estates."
The proper signal here brought the
constable into ihe presence of the parties.
The swindler was particularly astonished
at the appearance of this functionary, who
immediately proceeded to execute his part
of the drama.
"What!" exclaimed the rogue, in an
angry lone, " you surely haven't 6ued
me?"
"Yes I have," replied the Quaker, "and
thoa should'st be thankful that nothing
else happened to thee."
"Come in then," said the debtor, find
ing himself fairly caught; "come in and I
will pay you, if I must.''
The three went into the house together,
and the slippery gentleman having the
amount of the bill, paid it in full.
The tailor having signed the receipt,
placed it in the hands of h' late debtor,

with feelings such as may be readily im
gined. The swindler took it and for the
first lime glanced at the various items of
which it was composed. He said noth
ing till he came to the last charge which
was "for advertising," when lie broke
forlh :
"Hallo what's this? For advertising?
That's an odd charge in a tailor's bill?
You are cheating me."
"Oh, no," cooly replied the Quaker;
"that's all right. I have charged thee the
cost of publishing the advertisement which
thou just showed me."
Here the swindler uttered a horrid oath
as he demanded: "Do you mean to say
you caused the publication?"
"Truly I did," replied the Quaker, with
the most provoking coolness.
"You told a cursed lie in it," quickly
retorted the rogue.
"Convince me of that." said the Qua
ker, "and you will find me ready to con
fess the fault."
"You said that I should hear some
thing to my advantage if I should come
here."
"Thou art mistaken," immediately re

'If I catch von in the street," said the
swindler, wish an oath, and in deep set
rage, "1 11 give you such a eowhiding as
will not leave
the breath in vour body.
Nonsense, now," said the Quaker;
"If thou really intend to do anything of it
that sort, I think we had better step into
the back yard, and we will then finish up
the business at once."
The rogue was completely nonplussed
by the coolness of the Quaker, and stood
speechless and petrified.
"Now," said the tailor, good naturedly,
j "let us give thee a piece of advice. When
. next thou hast occasion to get a suit of
; clothes, thou hadst not better attempt to
j cheat the tailor, but pay him honestly, for
j then will thy conscience not disturb thee,
, and thy sleep will be sweet and refresh
ing, rare well.
PRINTER'S NOTICE.
Among the most amusing portions of
! the columns of every paper are those no
; tices which occasionally appear at the
! head in a prominent and conspicuous po- j
i sition, requesting the subscribers to paid j
i papers to pay up their subscriptions. The
i tone of these duns presents a marked con
j trast to the laconic and decided style ol
I those which tradesmen and others put
j forlh in advertising columns and in which
they bxiefly but explicitly inform their
i debtors that unless their accounts are
speedily adjusted, they will be put into
the hands of an officer for collection. The
i printer, on the contrary, speaks in a mod
j est and deprecatory manner, as if he were
j in danger of committing a moral sin by
i reminding his subscribers that something
i more is necessary to thcpatronage of a
' paper than a name and an unredeemed pro

much loss. Couldjhose who thoughtless

GUIZOT'S WASHINGTON.
The following is a portion of M. Gui
zot's preface to the new edition of his
work on Washington:
It was under the monarchy, almost in
the midst of the councils of King Louis
Philippe, that I rendered homage to
Washington to the foundation of a great I
Republic by a great man. In re-publishing .
it to-day, a leelir.g of profound sadness
comes over me.

.convinced that the Republic, a noble form
of government, is the most difficult and
most dangerous of governments. It is a
form of government which demands from j
Providence the most rare and favorable
circumstances, and from society itself the
greatest harmony, wisdom and virtue. I
