秀才何岳,自号畏斋,曾经在夜晚走路时捡到200余两白银,但是不敢和家人说起这件事,担心家人劝他留下这笔钱.第二天早晨,他携带着银子来到他捡到钱的地方,看到有一个人正在寻找,便上前问他,回答的数目与封存的标记都与他捡到的相符合,于是把钱还给了他.那人想从中取出一部分钱作为酬谢,何岳说:“捡到钱而没有人知道,就可以算都是我的东西了,(我连这些都不要),又怎么会贪图这些钱呢?”那人拜谢而走.他又曾经在做官的人家中教书,官吏有事要去京城,将一个箱子寄放在何岳那里,里面有金数百两,(官吏)说:“等到他日我回来再来取.”,去了许多年,没有一点音信,(后来)听说官吏的侄子为了他的事情南下,但并非取箱子.(何岳)得以托官吏的侄子把箱子带回官吏那儿.秀才何岳,只是一个穷书生而已,捡到钱归还,短时期内还可以勉励自己不起贪心;金钱寄放在他那数年却一点也不动心,凭这一点就可以看出他远过与常人.
