'\\A'gtheip.oplo geevf .more numerous-, a.nd „t^e!v, trade one with another increased, the .'want of current money wa s still sensibly iftlt,' \To supply the demand, the .general court passed a law for establishing a coin- age of shillings, sixpences,,and threepences. • Captain jjoiin- Hull was appointed to manufacture tiiisrinpRey, .and was to have • »bouti:one,shiliing ou t of every twenty to ' '.pay him for the trouble of making them. Hereupon, all the old silver cans -atid tankards , 'I suppose, and silver buckles; and Ibrok'en spoons, and silver buttons of woft«_ out coats, and silver 'hilts of swords that had ' 'figuredatcourt, all such curious old articles were doubtless thrown into the melting pot togetflar. Hu t b y far the greater part o'ftlib /silver'consisted ol bullion from the mines \of South America, which. Iho English buo- .caniers, who a t best wero li'ttlo better thai\ pirates, ha d taken from the Spaniards, and -brqught to Massachusetts. - AH this.old an d new silver, being molted •down and coined, .the result was an immense amount of splendid shillings sixpences, and threepences. Each had the date, 1I55'2, on the. side, and the' figure of a pine-tree on the •other.\ Hence they were called pine-tree •shillings. An d for every twenty shillings : that lu: coiiied, yo u will \remember Captain Joh n Hull wa s entitled to pu t one shilling int o his oWn pocket, i t soon began to bo -suspected' that th e mint-master would have th e best of the bargain. Tfitiy offered him a Jarge su m of money, if ho would bu t give \u> that tweh'tieth' shilling, which lie was continually dropping into his own pnultet. Bu t Captain Hull declared himself perfect- ly satisfied wuh the shilling. An d well lie might be,; for s o diligently did h e labor, that in a few years, hi s pockets, his nioney bags, .and his strong box,were overllowing with pine-tree shillings. Thi s was probably the case with him, when he came inio posses- sion of Grandfather's chair; an d a s h e bad worked so hard a t th e mint, it was ci-rtainly proper that he should ha,ve a comlortable chair to rest himself on. When the inint-ma^ler had grown very Tich, a youn g man, Samuel Sewell b y name, came a courting to his only daughter. Uis daughter—whoso n.une I do not know ; bu t wewil l call her Uctsny—was a line hearty dattiM:!, by n o means slender as some youn g ladies of ou r own day.-*. On the contrary having always led heartily on pumpkin pies, •doilgn iiutSjImlian puddings, an i otiu r l\i- l-itaii dainties, sh e was a s round and plump a s a pudding herself. Willi this rusy Urns Betsey, did dam el Sewell fall in love. A..-» his was a youn g ui ill ot g.iod character, industri- ous hi'lns business, and a member of tho church, the mini—master very readily gavu his cmiMint. \ Yes—you ma y take her, \ said lie in (his rough way, \ and you'll lind hei a heavy' •burthen enough!\ On tho wedding da y wo ma y sup - pose-that iioilest.Jolih'Uiill dressed himseli in a plum polpred coat, all -the buttons of which were made of pine-tree shillings. jThe button s ol his waiscoat were, sixpences ; and tW knees of in s sum!! clothes wur^ buttoned with silver thrcepenees. Thus a_t- •tired he sa l down witn great dignity in Gmndlaihur ^ chair ; an d buiiig a portly *ld gentleman, he completely filled ltiroiu elbow to elbow. On th e opposite side of -the room, between he r bridciuaids, sa t Mis> Betsey, bh e was olusiiing with all he r might, ami looked like a lull blown paiuny, • * great red apple, or an y other round ami scarlet' obj-.ct.

And then th e French, generally, as we all know, have a remarkable inaptitude for languages, so much so, that there was no t one in a thousand of them, who, oven after several years residence in Italy,\could ex- press himself in that beautiful tongue with anything like propriety of idiom or accent. As he spoke to them, the Oastilian made the remark with astonishment, that Do n Francesco spoke such Spanish, as they ha d never heard from the mout h of a Frcnch- tt 11)1) 1.13.

THE CASTJLIAK FAJI.TI HOUSE. Don Francesco, a native of Italy, nf Span- ish origin, and (me nf the :,lufT of King Jo - seph, having been Ihe bearer of some dts- pat.:hc-> to a small corps o\f the Freneharmy , made an ap p ututnent with several youn g officers to take a slionti. g excursion. Being called away b y his miliiwy duties, he pr o miscd to ri-joit. his friends as soon as ho wa s at liberty. Aceordint'ly he made th e at - tempt, accompanied only by an old Poks h trooper—although some rumor s of danger hud been circulated in hi s presence. The -tory proceeds: They reached th e glen Where the y ha d left th e two Frenchmen in salo-ly, bu t i t was dark, and whe n they rode up to what they ImJ Uilrcn in the morninp for a village, ii'.-nrly every while spot, instead of berng a house, was a calcnreous rock. ' They were, however, among these deceptive projections, some half dozen of miserable collages, where Don Francesco confidently expected to find hi s friends; bu t where, o'n inquiry, he fcund them not, and if th e words of th e inhabitants wero to be taken, no such per- sons ba d been seen there since the umrning. Rather inclined to b e apj;ry at his friends for want of punctuality, than tosuspectany tiling had happened to them, Don Francesco wa s a ou t t o itirn his horse's head, \when an old goiitherd addressed him, an d told him he had seen the two strangers cr.iss th e hills a t th e to p of the glen, an d that doubt- less- they would be lound a t a farm hous e i n that direction—not mor e than a good league off, where th e game wa s mos t abun - dant. Syirited on b y thi s iiitclligeBee, the young Neapolitan took th e direction pointed ou t t o him, and darker an d darker though it be - caihe, h e and his follower contrived t o make griod speed fur half an hop/ , when they though t the y ough t lo be near th e said lartn house. Bu t when they slackened their pace, an d peered throug h th e night glor/iti, and listened to catch; if i t might be, th e balking of a dog, o r the tinkling bells oi a sht-ep fold, or anythin g t o announce\ the neighborhood \f a (arm o r collage, they could see nothing, but that life rough pat h they had hilh rlo followed, no w lost itself iha labyrinth of other paihs, an d nothing in th e world could they hear but ihe pant- ing of their h-.irM.-s , an d the murmu r of th e nigh t wind among thelini'-hwood tha t grew on every side of them. Th e country , also, seemed t o h e wildemn d mor e desolate eyen than that the y bad ltd't—and a country more U'celcsSy houseless, uncultivated, barren, ani' utterly de-^ula'.e, than tha t around Madrid, Ts scarcely lo b e found in Edrope. Don Francesco, liotvever, was no t to b e t .imed back; and, indeed, io go back to th e X>ick«ih, or l o attf-mpt reaching cantonments, would i.'j-v have been, a s difficult as t o find out the farm hodse. H e did. therelore, what is, pi-rh*)!\ as wise, a thin g as a ma n could d o uiwu- such cireuiuEjsiuees — h e thre w the reins on hi - horse's neck, and le t i.i... „t..^.... i.!.. *r«i,. „ • \ 1 am no Frenchman, \ said he. This assertion evidently iprotluced a con- siderable effect; ihe Spanish girl fixed he r large black eyes on him; tho man, wh o seemed tlio master of the house, asked him of what counlr}' then he was. Whe n he -replied ho was an Italian, th e host rejoined, '• Oh, then, you are half a Spaniard—but are here with the French army alter a'l! \ As Dun Francesco was thinking he did not altogether like tho tone with which th e last words were pronounced, nnd the ex- pression of countenance that accompanied them, hi s Polish trooper, wh o ha d been busy with the horses, came in, and stepping up lo his master, whispered in French, u I hope, sir, we have gut into Iriendly quarter s —but there are several desperate lookin fellows in llie stable, and 1. am almost sure the old goatherd who directed u s hither is amongst them !\ Startled as ho was a t this information the young ,-oUllev, liowevur, preserved hi presei.ee of mind : h e felt that if h e hud really fallen inlo a trap, escape b y force was utterly impracticable, anil that th e best thing h e could do was t o keep a watchful eye on his friends within the house, and t o Iranqnihze his faithful compan-un, who might h e on his guard a s to wha t was going on withou'. So, affecting to treat lightly the trooper's suspicions, an d only telling him to keep the saddles on tho horses, and to have their reins on their ncrk^, he gave him part of the supper and wino his host had provided, and uismi.Ksed hint with recommendation to sleep a s lightly as if they were picketed in the field, with th e enemy cloi-c bclore him. While ho took his own supper, Don Francesco continued his conversation with the Spaniards. S o quiet and well disposed did they all again seem, that his apprehension almost entirel i\fr liim. an d l.c taxed himselfwith folly fur having suspected any u- n ,.t t!„.,Y lmnds.

Even in that extremity of danger th e bravo soldier could not reconoilo himself to the thought of'leaving a fellow creature to the knife, and he stepped to the other side of the room. Th e treinblintr, girl moved with him, drew thecapot o from his body, .and-holding down the lump she. held, and turning away her own eyes, disclosed to those of Do n Francesco th e ghastly coun lenumSeof one of tho young Frenchmen he had been in search ot. As to what passed after this horrible dis- closure—as to his feelings or his actions, for some seconds, tho youn g man could never render an account. Wha t ho first re- collected was standinga t the head of a (light of rough stone steps that descended from what appeared to be a hayloft in the court yard, with th e Spanish girl pointing lo the wall that enclosed th e court. While slantl ing here, listenin was giving him as to llie road he Was t o take to reach .Madrid, he heard tho well- know n voice of his poor faithful trooper utter a French exclamation, and the next instant the report of a carbine shot, and then the noise of a deadly scuffle proceeded from tiiat part of the stable which now seemed to be immediately beneath his feet. Oh, fly!—it is your only hope—may God go with you!\ muttered the agonized girl,\ slill pointing to tho wall. More than half stupefied, Don Francesco crept down the stone steps ; hu t us he de- scended, ho saw a man, who had come out from Iho lower apartment, or from the sta ilo, advance across th e court yard to the narrow space between the fool of the stairs and the Coot of the outer wall of the liirm he had to climb. H e then heard a long henvy gioan—and then foui more Spaniards came out, and joined (lie man he had jus t seen. 11 The dog of a Frenchman is done for\ said one, whose voiec seemed to b-> that ol tlio 'host, \ bu t ho lias wounded me sorely in ihe. arm. Quielc, however, the muse wi awakened his master, and wo svil trouble in dispatching him ! the earth, and then heard distinctly that it was a French.drummer, beating tile revilee. Cheered by 'these wclcomo tonos, ho pur- sued his way, and i n about a quarter of an hour,, a s da y ibroke-into fulness of light ho saw a low, littio village close before him, with a detachment ol French troops mus- tering on itsiotitskirtSi Sotting u p a shout of joy, he ran oh to th e village, where he was perfectly safe among friends and com- rade-Si His tale of horror wa s soon told, and a, plan of .proceeding arranged ; bu t moro than two hours passed ero he was suf- ficiently refreshed to modnt a horse, and 1 head Ihe-troops in search of the assassins. Unfortunately, too, there was no oavul'ry on the spot; and with the difficulty of re'trac- infe his steps; an d time lost on false scents, it was .near noon when Don Francesco drew up the troops before a solitary farin house,, which, froth th e little ho ha d been able to see of it i n th e obscurity of th e preceding n-ight, ho thought must bo that which he had escaped from-. After having shouted •in vain, th e soldiers scaled tho \walls and burst open -the gate. Tho door of the dwell- ing house was merely secured b y a latch, cuid whon ho entered it, tho absence of every minsto had not beon proof enough, Don Francesco could have sworn to tho apartment, li e rushed up th e ladder to th e accursed loft, expecting to find th e body of his frieivd, hu t i t was gone, and no truce of blood or anything connected with him, was left there. • Some of th e soldiers meanwhile had gone into tho stables, which they found as empty its th e rest of the house—all th e horses hud been. renio\ed-, as also the body of die poor Polo; but-o n some straw, in a corner o( the stable, they lound a littio pool of bload. illiis .was tho only evidence of crime the premises retained. On looking over th o house, it was discovered that the provisions unci nearly all the articles of household furniture (few and- simple in Spain) had beon carried off. I t was in vain to think of pursuing the fugitives; they (ailed in their search after tho bodies of the young officer and'th e Pola ; and Don Fran- cesco inarched his men lo tho huts, where, on the preoediiii! night, he had spoken with iho goatherd: 'i'liodiuts were as empty as as the farm house. To conclude a long story, tho murderers were never caught.

Hardly an y regiment in the service gets any thing moro than a local reputation, un- less it has a special name, although there is scarcely any difference irt the real amount 'of duty done by each.
