now forthe coincidence. DIR. Moss COW,
determined not to be outdone. a few

either some peculiarly about that
breed Of cattle or the climate here
abouts has a peculiar effect upon the

The Original Penny.

The old, old penny in England, as
in other countries, was of silver, and
its appearance throughout the eai lest
time OF its history would rather aston.
ish those who know nothing of numis-
matte lore. From the Saxon times, in
which it was the only piece of silver
extant, till those Of Edward L, it was
stamped with a square cross. This
enabled the coin to be readily broken
into halves and quarters, which then
served the purpose Of half pence aud
iarthings.
But the latter coin vas not much
inferior to the value OF the present
ENGLISH penny, inasmuch as the un.
broken piece was valued at one Thrift
eth Of a mark, or three pence sterling.
At this time FIVE of them seem TO
have made a shilling or shilling, SO
that the relations between what arc
now chief English silver and bronze
coins have entirely altered 10 the
course of six centuries. King Ed.
ward, who reformed the coinage, like
everything else, was the first to issue
pennies without the indented cross.
and to make up for the loss Of the
queer shaped half pennies aud farth-
iDgs hitherto in use, supplemented the
silver coinage with circular pieces,
bearing the same value and denomina-
ton.
He fixed the standard of the penny
moreover, by ordering that it shoald
weigh thirty-two grains Of we'll grown
wheat, of which was a more accurate
test, that twenty pennies should weigh
one ounce.
