A BAG WITH HOLES.

It is recorded of that poor rich man, Cornelius Vanderbilt, that before he died he said to a friend: “I don't see what good it does me—all this money that you say is mine. I can't eat it, I can't spend it, in fact, I never saw it, and never had it in my hands for a moment. I dress no better than my private secretary, and can not eat as much as my coachman. I live in a big servant's boarding-house, am bothered to death by beggars, have dyspepsia, can not drink champagne, and most of my money is in the hands of others, who use it mainly for their own benefit.” This is the testimony of one who put his treasure in “a bag with holes.”—Exchange.
