c6pcernlng PromIssory Notes.

From the Journal Of Commerce.
Question by correspondent: Isitneces.
sary that a promissory note made in New
Jersey by PRESIDENT there have fireworks
without discount or defalcation for value
received" I have been informed by
lawyers and bank officials that it is abso.
lutely necessary, otherwise any defense or
set.otf can be offered, and payment retrs-
ed and sustained by the courts O! New
Jersey.
ARsuer,-Many years ago it was con.
sidered necessary in Pennsylvania that
the words without defalcatiOn for value
received" should DO inserted in promis-
sorry notes 10 make them perfectly neg0ti-
able; and in New Jersey the custom was
to add the words "or disconnt" after defal.
cation; but we doubt il this view in either
case would have been sustained in the
higher courts, Even the words "for value
received" are not necessary to make
perfect "promissory note within the stat.
ute" Before wego further VIC may Us
well explain tho origin Of the last quota.
ton. Before the year 1904 only bills Of
exchange were perfectly negotiable; with
in that year the British Parliament passed
IAN act for giving like remedy upon
promissory notes as is now used upon
bills of exchange" This, known us
the'celebrated statute Of Queen Anne, pro.
vided that promissory notes for the pay.
mcnt absolutely OF any specified sum Of
money, should,bc asslgnable or indorsable
as bills Of exchange were, or according
10 the CUSTOM, Of merchants. Since
the passage Of this act, al promissory
notes payable absolutely and .uncon.
ditionaly in money, have been
known us "promissOry notes within
the statute;" while all notes rcdeemable
in other property, or the payment Of which
is conditional, have been called "promis.
sorry notes not within the statute"
In the first class OF notes n valuable
consideration is presumed, and even be.
tween the two original parties the burden
of proof, It tho want of such cODsidera.
ton is in the pleadiDgs, rests upon the
maker. Such plea cannot go beyond
the first payee against third holder, who
received 1t in good faith. 1t has been de
cided, therefore, that as this considera.
ton is to be presumed, oil notes within
the statute"-that Is, promising TO pay a
sum Of money absolutely and unCondi.
tionally-are just Us good without the
words "IOr value received" On the
other hand, in promises not within the
statute-that Is, which promise to pay
something besides money, or couple the
promise with conditions rendering it non.
negotiable, if the words "ior value receiv.
ed' are omitted the burden Of proving n
valuable consideration is upon the pAyee.
This covers, we believe, the whole ground.

1t is shame and crime for which
our country was punished severely last
year, TO destroy such large numbers Of
harmless little birds as arc slot during
every month Of the year. The beautiful
little sparrows which have been introdu.
Ced at such u great expense Of time and
care, are every day brought into the New
York markets by the hundreds, and sold,
at extortionate prices as game, for human
food. Robins and quails in uncounted
numbers arc also exposed at the game
stand and sold.
1t does seem as il our people are stupid
ly bent on destroying tho goose that lays
the golden egg, The immense number
Of nOxious insects that little birds will
destroy held high carnival in our fruit or.
Chards last season. There has never been
q year before the past when so many
wormy and insect.bitten apples were sent
to market. The universal complaint Is in
almost every section of the country. "Our
apples arc nearly worthless, as they arc
all so wOrmy."
But, fire away; snare the little birds,
destroy their nests, encourage rude boys
TO stone and shoot every bird within their
reach, and, in q few moro seasons, We
shall hear no complaint about wormy
fruit, as there will be none, because the
insects and fruit pests will destroy every
embryo blossom, or young fruit, before It
can mature. When birds are encouraged
to dwell in an orchard, the Codling moth
and cake worm, which destroys thousands
Of bushels Of apples, are all devoured by
the birds before the depredators can reach
tho leaves and the fruit. Again We say
spare the birds.-N Y Observer.

THE THREE SHIPS.

ny JULIA c. R. DoRh.
Over the waters clear and dark
Flew, like startled bird, our bark.
All the day long with steady sweep
Sea Gulls followed US over the deep.
Weird and strange were the silent shores,
Rich with their wealth OF buried ores;
Mighty the forests, old and gray.
With the secrets locked iu their hearts away;
Sembiancc Of castle and arch and shrine
lowered alOlt in the clear sunshine;
And we watched for the wardcr, stern and grim
And the priest with his chantCd prayer and hymn
Over that wonderful northern sea,
AS one who sails In dream sailed We;
Till, when the young moon scared on high,
Nothing wasround US but sea and sky.
Far In the East the young moon swung
A crescent dim In the azure hung;
Bat the sun lay low In the glowing West,
With bars OF purple ACROSS his breast.
The skies were aaamc with the sunset glow,
Tho pillows were all alamo below;
The far horizon seemed the gate
To some mystic worlds enchanted state.
Three ships went sailing one by ono,
The lairest visions under the sun.
Like the flame In the heart OF ruby set
We're the sails that How from each mast Of Jet;
While darkly against the burning sky
streamSr and Pennaut loated nigh.
Steadily, silently, on they pressed
Into the glowing, reddlns West;
Until, on tho fair horizons fold,
They slowly passed through It's gate Of gold.
You think, perhaps, they were nothing more
Than schooners laden with common orei
Where Care claIped hands with grImy Toll,
And the decks were stained with earthly moilS
oh, beautiful ships, who sailed that night
Into the West from our yeArning sight,
Full well I knew that the freight ye bore
Was laden not for an earthly shore
To some far realm 20 were sailing on,
Where all VIC have lost shall yet be won:
Ye were bearing thither world Of dreams,
Bright as the sunsets golden CLEANS;
And hopes whore tremulous, rosy flush
Grew fairer still in the twilight hush;
Ye were bearing hence to the mystic sphere
Thoughts no mortal may utter here
sonrs that on earth may not be sung
Words too holy for human tongue
The golden deeds that We would have done
The fddeless wreaths that VIC would have won!
And hence It was that our souls with you
TraVcfEcd the measureless waste Of blue,
TIL you passed under the sunset cato,
