THERE COMES A TIME.
By CELIA LOGAN,
There comes a time
When hearts no longer beat;
For death win suddenly rect
Men in their prime,
And widows moani
"God, through ways We have not known,
Leads all his own"
There came a time
When fair young Katie went,
With pure head meekIy bent,
Without repine.
To his angelic throne.
"God, through WAYS Te have not known,
Led her-Bis own" ...--
Come many time
When DER her virgin tomb,
Where springs first flowers bloom
] may not weep,
And solace keep,
From power divine,
Wheny ears have flown;
''G0d, through WAYS we have not known,
VIII lead his own"

FINANCIAL MATTERS.
A case of practical importance to banks
and all persons engaged in business, or in
the habit Of receiving checks in settlement,
was lately decided by the court of common
pleas in Philadelphia. A gentleman held a
check drawn to his order by another party
on the Commercial bank for S725. The
check was dated in October, 1855; was not
Endorsed or presented to thu hank for pay
ment for some time afterward, and then
the paying teller informed him that there
was but 1920 to the credit of the party
making the check. The holder of the
check demanded the payment of this
amount on account, and, on being refused,
offered to deposiT to the credit of the
drawer Of the check an amount sufficient,

with the $229 to cover the amount Of the
check; but this, also, the bank would not
accede to. Two years SUBSEQUENT the
offer was repeated and again declined bv the
bank. The drawer of the check having
died about the time of the presentation Of
the check, the bank also refused to pay his
administrator, on the ground of the exist
ence and the previous demand for the pay
ment of the check. The court decided that
where holder Of q check offers to take
less sum than the full amount Of the
check, it is the duty Of the bank to pay it
to him and indorse the amount paid on the
check. Weqaote from the decision s1f
such check is an appropriation Of the
whole sum for which it calls, If SO much Is
in the hands Of the banker, it Is an appr0-
priation of any smaller sum which may be
in his hands if there be not sufficient to pay
the amount of the check. In such case,
If the holder Of the check is willing to re-
ceive the smaller sum, as the bank is en-
titled to retain the check as evidence of
payment and of the holders right to receive
the money, it should endorse the amount
of its payment on the check, and issue to
the holder certificate of having received
the check from him and having paid so
much on account of it."
