THE Folly OF HoARDING.-There is little phiian-
thropy in bencvoIence i'll giving away ones death
bed what longer keep. The virtue of giving
consists in giving voluntarily, and at the right time.
Senator Cornell founder Of the free library at Ithaca,
New York, lately remarked that years ago he became
convinced that it folly hoard up treasures on
EARTH and to bequeath them in ones last will and tcs
lament, to be disposed Of, probably by unwilling heirs
or niudcious executors; and he decided that he would
act the better part and give while he lived, and reap
in his tme, at least the satisfaction and pleasure OF
seeing his beuefactiohs do good to those for whom
they were designed. There world of practical
common sense in the Senator's remarks. 1t would be
well and credtable to the christian charity Of man
kind, if there were many to initiate his noble exam
pie Girard good enough man i'll his way, but
he is chiefly remembered as the millionaire who at
his death built hands marble college, that will
forever stand monument to perpetuate his name.
But the Peabodys and the Stewards and the Cornes,
if they less costly structures will be not less held
in popular remembrance benefactors Of their race,
who gave their money freely, and lived to witness and
enjoy the fruits of their benefcencc We have in
this city fully of gentlemen who could afford
to be as extensively philanhropic senator Cornell,
and who ought to be eminent1y wise and liberal.
