A HOME PArER.-An exchange says, we like
to see man refuse to take his local paper, and
all the time sponge on his neighbor the reading
of it. We like to hear man complain when we
ask him to subscribe for his home paper, that he
takes more papers than he reads now, and then
go around and borrow his neighbours or loaf
about him until he gets the news from It. We
like TO see man run down his home paper as
not worth taking, and every now and then beg
the editor for q favor in the editorial line. We
like to see merchant refuse to advertise in n
home paper, and then try TO get n share of trade
which papers bring to town. But, above all
things, we like to rich, miserly man, who
cannot pay for his local paper always manage to
nc around in time to read the paper, Mt the cx-
pcnse of friend not worth the tenth part uf
hat he himself is. 1t looks economical,

also at other times, for the purpose of getting
some of the money. He refused to give them
any, saying that they were in such circumstan-
