ENDORSING NOTES.

1t was well said by shrewd OBJ
server, that there are some things
which every man had to learn for
himself 1t would seem as if the folly
of endorsing what is called an accom-
moddtiOn paper was one of them.
Tens of thousands have been ruined
in this way, yet tens of thousands
still continue to practice it. Many
who endorse paper with impunity for
years, discover, at last, that they also
in spite of their assertions that they
would never be losers, are brought to
bankruptcy by it. Sir Walter Scott,
who had gone on, from year to year,
adding acre to acre, farm to farm,
awoke, one morning, to find that he
was ruined through his endorsement
On Constahle's paper; and the rest Of
his life, shortened by excessive labor,
had to be devoted not to carrying out
the favorite dreams of his ambition,
but liquidating the debts thus
contracted. Even Barnum, whose
name had become synonymous with
shrewness, fell before this delusive
habit.
