All is Vanity.

By Editor

The following is from the diary of the late Amos Lawrence:
“I have been extensively in business during the last two years, have added much to my worldly possessions; and have come to the same conclusion in regard to them I did in 1818. I feel distressed in mind that the resolutions then made have not been more effectual in keeping me from this over-engagedness in business. * Property acquired at such sacrifices as I have been obliged to make the past year, cost more than it’s worth and the anxiety of protecting it is the extreme of folly.”
