Sec. 2. A legal tender of any such personal property shall discharge the maker of any such instrument from all liability thereon; and the property thus tendered shall be vested in the legal holder of the instrument, and he may maintain an action for the recovery thereof, or for damages if the possession be subsequently illegally withheld from him: Provided, however, if any such property so tendered shall be of a perishable nature, or shall require feeding or other sustentation, and the holder of such instrument be absent at the time of the tender, it shall be lawful for the person making the tender to preserve, feed and otherwise take care of the same, and he shall have a lien on such tendered property for his reasonable trouble, and the expense of feeding or sustaining such property, until payment be made, for such trouble and expense.
