THE FIRST OF THE CREDIT SYSTEM
first occasion on which we hear Of an organized
sytem of credit is when Joseph mortgaged the
cattle, lands and even the persons of all the
Egyptian people, in order to pay for the corn
he supplied them from the State granarles.
The end of the seven years famine found the
Egyptians not only paupers but bOndsmen,
sowing Pharaoh's corn on Pharaoh's land, and
compelled to pay for the privilege of doing it,,
twenty per cent of the crop to Pharaoh's trea-
sury forever, without equity of redemption:
The Egyptians had no previous experience of
Jews. Excepting Abraham, quiet, molten
sive patriarch, who came to Egypt because he
was hungry-and lac got Pharaoh into trouble
they had never even seen a jew before. Ii
is therefore highly probable that a remem-
brance of Joseph's fiscal policy whilst chance,
lor of their excheQuer, contributed, IN no small
degree, to the severity with which they ground
down the children of Israel. But the fact
especially noticeable about the introduction oi
credit is this-bankruptcy and credit came il
together; Joseph left Egypt nation OF bank
rupts And ever since that time, bound
together by an indissolubie bond of uniol
(bOnds, in fact, Of bills and promissory notes
these Samese twins, Bankruptcy and Credit
have gone on thriving, together, and will g

blow, it matters not which; then the othe

NO JOY WITHOUT SORROW.

For whom, because one leaf was creased,
The rose-strewn couch had no delight.
think not even sanSuine youth
Expects its gold without alloy;
But this is still the sober truth:
A little pain can mar much Joy.
'Tis pity that one thwarting thought,
One adverse chance. one sudden fear
Or sharp regret, can turn to nOught
The full content that seemed so near
But this strange lie OF our abounds
With notes so subtle, they afford
A thousand discords and harsh sounds
For one harmonious perfect chord.
