Do you know who got up the first corner in broadstuffs ? KoP Well, it was that good young man Joseph and his bad old master Pharaoh, the younger member of the firm furnishing the points and the senior partner the stamps. The two monopolists gathered in tho wheat for seven years, then bulled the market and gathered in" the substauce of the hungry people for another seven years, till finally that eminent and highly respectable firm of produce brokers owned about everything that was'worth owning in the land of Egypt. Joseph was appointed " ruler of the King's navee," sent for " his s., and his c, and his a.," and, the facts of history compel us to state, lived long and prospered. A change in the Administration, however, made it rather hot for Joseph's decendnnts, and, as you may recollect, they emigrated after n somewhat heated discussion witlr tho new Pharaoh. — Boston Transcript.
