Home Papers.

We find the following sensible article in
regard to Home Papers, in an Exchange,
to which we direct the special attention of
the readers and patrons Of the ENTERPRIsE.
Did it ever occur to the minds of our
people that their home papers are their
representatives abroad They are, wheth-
er they wish them so or not. They cannot
help it. Strangers look to them as tho
unerring representatives of people among
whom they are printed If shabby and
mean in appearance and thrift, an unfa-
yorable opinion is formed at once; if the
reverse, it goes to the, locality. How i'm
portapt then TO give them a liberal sup
port. Let this be done, and the publisher
is able to command every means to i'm
prove his paper and make it profitable to
him, and an honor to the place at which it
ia, printed. Let every man take this cor.
rect view Of the matter, and have a paper
4 which will be Git representative of the
wealth and prosperous section in which he
lives. II is his representative from home
and it should be, his pride to enable it te
be one Of which he. would not be ashamed
And it is also considered that the hundred
Of thousands Of dollars sent away for news
| papers would all be kept at home, anc
kept in circulation among our people, the
Importance Of sustaining home papers il
still more important. i. c4..,,

A Bows Boots.

The boot period is the dividing line be-
tween babyhood and boyhood. Before the
boots, one is tramped upon by comrades,
and stuck with pins, and we walk with an
air of apology for the fact that we were
born at all. Robust sehool-fellows strike
us across the cheek, and. when we turn to
them, they cry, "Who are you looking at |"
or what is worse than any possible insult,
have somebody chuck us under the chin
and call US sbub." Before the crisis of
boots, the country boy carries no handker-
chief This keeps him ina state of constant
humiliation. Whatever crisis may come in
the boys history--no handkerchief. This
is the very unpopular period Of suuWes.
But at last the age OF boots dawn upon
boy. Look out how you call him "bub."
|. He parts his hair on the side, has the end
of his white handkerchief sticking out Of
the top of his side pocket as if it were re-
Gently arranged so, has digni6ed and
manly mode Of expectoration, and walks
down the road with long strides, as much
as to say "Clear the track for my boots p
We have seen imposing men, but none
have so thoroughly impressed us as the
shoemaker, who, with waxy hand, deliver
ed into our possession oar first pedal adorn-
ments. As he put the awl through the
leather, and then inserted the two bristles
into the hole, and drew them through it,
aud then, bending over the lap-stone,
grasped the threads with hard grip, and
brought them up with jerk that made
the shop shake, we said to ourself "Here
is gracefulness for you and powerP
II was Sabbath day when we broke them
in. Oh the rapture of that moment when
we lay hold of the straps at one end, and,
with our big brother pushing at the other,
the boot went on! We fear that We got
but little advantage that day from the
services. Allthe pulpit admonition about
worldliness and pride struck the toe of our
boots, and fell back. We have trampled
under our feet all good counsels. We
have to repent that, while some trust in
horses and some in chariots, we put too
much stress upon leather. Though our
purchase was 50 tight in the instep that
as soon as they got to the woods, we went
limping on our way-what boots itl We
felt that in such a cause it was noble to
suffer.
For some reason, boots are not what they
used to be. You pay big price, and you
might walk all day without hearing once
from them; but the original pair of which
J I tell spake out for themselves. No one
doubted whether you had been to church
after you had once walked up the aisle in
company with such leather. 1t was the
pure eloquence of calf-skin.

How to Break Oneself Of Bad Habits.

Understand clearly the reasons, and all
the reasons, why the habit is injurious.
Study the subject till there is no lingering
doubt in your mind. Avoid the places,
the persons, and the thoughts that lead to
the temptation. Frequent the places, as
sociate with the persons, indulge the
thoughts that lead away from the tempta-
ton, Keep busy qidleness is the strength
Of bad habits. Do not give up the strug-
gle when you have broken your resolution
once, twice, ten times, a thousand times.
That only shows how much need there is
for you to strive. When you have broken
your resolution think the matter over, and
endeavor to understand why it was you
failed SO that you may be on your guard
against recurrence Of the same circum-
stances. Do not think it little or an
easy thing that you have undertaken. Il
! is folly to expect to break off bad habit
in day which may have been gathering
strength in you for years. Y

How a Crown Prince hives,

The Crown Prince of Prussia resides in
Berlin, aud occupies the same apartment
in which Frederick the Great once resided,
when heir apparent to the throne. He
lives in manner at once simple and re-
fined. Not luxuriously, sumptuously, or
gaudy. His wife, one of the daughters of
the Queen of England, presides over his
establishment with dignity and grace,
Their summer palace, at Potsdam, has a
home-like air of comfort about it. The
bed-chambers are neat and tidy, with
chintz curtains, instead of heavy silks and
damasks. The Kings sleeping apartment
is furnished with rigid simplicity, with a
small cot and few chairs. Thus while
our rulers are reveling in luxury, and
wasting the substance of the nation, the
present and future heads of great king
dom are husbanding great resources, and
Heading lives Of sobriety and quiet. Con-
sidering that we SGT great store by our
Republican simplicity" as compared with
'saristocratic extravaganza" of European
nations, the contrast is painful,

ed, however, it will lend important aid to
the warchousemen in their efforts to contend
with the owners and consigness Of grain.
The trouble with this portion Of Mr.
Cary's Warehouse article, and also with the
section providing for the inspection Of grain
by Boards of T1nde, Is that it proposes to
lea1 with the grain in the elerator, without
first 7nquiring how it got there. The fraud

the grain was sent into the elevator without
tho owners consent Mr.. Turner, of Ste-
phenson County, in objeoting to the article,
said that it had been prepared az measure
Of revenge by lot of Spectators who had
got hurt by decline in wheat. That is not
true. It Was prepared by number. of
gentlemen who have become 80 sccus-
toned to having their pockets picked
by the xai1wny-e1evator combination that
they have come to regard the picking of
their pockets as part of the common law,
So, instead of taking measures to keep the
hands Of the railway elevator combination
out of their pockets entirely, they prepared
an article to regulate the mode by which
pockets shall hereafter be riaed. To this
end, they conceded, in effect, the right Of
tho railways to hand anJbody's grain oyer
