WILD OATS,
THE
Champion Comlc~Paper
OF AMERICA.
Tills sparkling and brightly’ Illustrated
Weekly, humorous aod satirical paper has
entered upon tho seveeth pear of its jollv
existence, and the pablishers take pride in
saying that it will not be a whit b.hind any
thing tliat is American.
The publishers of Wild Oats point with
pride to the wholly uuexampled success of
their paper, and, pleilgeing themselves that
et seall be injthe future even better tvan in
the past, they ask a continuance of that kind
patronage which has placed it at the head
and front of American humorous papers.
We have mado arrangement.B which will
enable us to present Wild Oats in a brighter
and better shape than heretofore, having
recently taken possession of our new publi
cation office, and had fine copper-faced type
cast especially for us, together with all the
vast parphernalia required in the production
of such a paper as we give the public at he
low price of ten cents per copy.
We have also made arrangements with some
new artists, and shall at the same time re
tain such old favorites as THOMAS WORTH,
PRANK BELLEW, HOPKINS, WOOLF,
WALES, FRANK BEARD, BISBEE, OPPF.R,
KTOQSCKHARDT, ROTHENGA'ITER, BEN

al department will still remain in the hands
of its founder, the vivacious Bricktop, of
whom enough is known without more being
Biid,
As an additional inducement to subscribe
for the Centennial year, we have at great
expense prepared a comic chomo the crown
ing ffort of that graphic momus, Hopkins.
It ii a work of art, worthy of an elegant
frame, and is worth at least one half the
price asked for the subscription. It Is a
‘‘horse piece," being a burlesque of Mazeppa

A copy will be sent to each subscriber during
the year.
are beginning to find out that
'Wild Oats reaches a greater number of live
men than any other illustrated paper in
America, and therefore it is a first class me
dium of advertising.
To those who know Wild Oats we need
not say that it has not, does not, trad will not
contain a word or an illustration which may
not he taken in overy family in the land.
Fun we give in various sized doses, but never

A BRAVE GIRL.
In the winter of 1874, a gentleman
and his daughter, a young lady, while
traveling through Canada, arrived
about midnight at an old fashioned
tavern. The gentleman concluded to
stop there instead of going on to the
village of S—, which was ton miles
distant, and which they had thought
to reach.
The daughter, Carrie, expressed
her willingness, as the tavern pre
sented a comfortable appearance, and
they alighted, when it was plainly to
be seen that the gentleman was quite
lame, so much so that ho was ob
liged to use a cane.
The landlord came out, and calling
a boy to take their horse and sleigh
to tho barn, he ushered Mr. Spencer
and his daughter into a pleasant sit
ting-room, where a bright fire was
burning on tho hearth, which proved
very acceptable to our travelers, who
had been in the sleigh sinco morning.
“V our room will bo ready by sup
per time, sir,” said the landlord as he
left the room and went into tho bar
room.
Supper was shortly announced, and
after refreshing themselvos,- Mr.
Spencer and Carrie returned to the
cozy sitting room, whare they talked
and chatted until half-past eight.
They were then shown to their
room, winch was on the Beeond story,
in a wing somewhat distant from the
main portion.
The room was very long, with a
high ceiling. On one side was a
window, and on tho other a door.
Just above the door was a bust of
King George 111.
The room was very plainly fur.
nished, containing two beds, a wash
stand and a few chairs.
Carrie took in the whole room at a
glance, it must be confessed, had there
not been a cheerful fire burning, sbo
would have felt nervous aboui sleep
ing there. As it was the warm glow
lit un the room into compuretive
cheerfulness.
While she anrl her father sat by
the fire, her eyes wandered to the
bust above the door, when she no
ticed that the eye-ball* had evident
ly beetf knocked out, leaving two
empty spaces.
“Well, Carrie,” said Mr. Spencer,
presently, “I think you had better
lock the door. I atn going to count
my money.”
After Carrie had done so be drew
out a money-belt, heavy with bills,
and proceeded to count them.
While and ring so, Carrie’e eyes in
voluntarily wandered again to the
bust, when, to her horr jr and aston
ishment, in place of the empty spaces
were two glittering eyes, greedily
watching ev&ry movement ot her
lather.
The young girl could scarcely re
press a scream; but, controlling her
self, she looked towards the lire,
while her father went on counting a
large roll of bills.
“I must have been mistaken,”
thonght the lair girl. “What could
make me have such a strange fancy,
though?” she continued, glancing
again at the bust.
The eyes were still there—two
burning, savage eyes, that brighten
ed as Mr, Spencer went on counting,
“Good heavens!” thought Carrie,
“what shall we do! We are evident
ly in a den of theives, and will get
murdered for my poor father's mon
ey.”
How to communicate their danger
to her father without those terrible
eyes noticing it, Carrie could not
think. Suddenly a bright idea came
to her.
“Father,” she said aloud, “let me
take a card and pencil. I wish to
make a memorandum of some items
I wish to purchase in the village-”
Iler father handed them to her,
after stowing away hia belt. Carrie
wrote, tremblingly, in a fine hand —
‘•Father, do not be frightened; wo
are in a trap. Go in the opposite
corner of the room, where your face
will be in the dark, and look at the
bust above the door. In it you will
■ee two glittering eyes that have
watched you count your money.”
“Head it,” she said aloud, handing
the card to her father. “I want you
to ace if you think I am too extrav
agant. ’’
Her father betrayed no emotion
while he read, but said—
“ You are pretty extravagant, Car
rie. I suppose you think your father
is made of money:” and he arose
and to the wa6hstand, which
HAMILTON. HARRIS CO.. GA„ FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1877
was in a dark corner.
Once there he glanced toward the
bust and that glance confirmed his
daughter’s extraordinary statement.
When he came back to his seat,
Carrie saw that the eyes were gone.
Then, loaning towards her father
she said m a low tone—
“ You seo it is as I said, I have
thought of a plan, however, by
we can both escape. You would bo
perfectly helnless in an affray of any
kind on account of your lame leg, so
I must try to save us both.’’
Then followed a w hispered consul
tation, during which Carrie kept her
eyes;fixed on tho bust; but the glit
tering orbs had not come back.
As she concluded, Carrie went to
the window, threw it up, and looked
out. Beckoning to her father, who
came, she said, or rather whispered:
“You Jsee this) shtd, father?
Well, they will probably oomo upon
it and get in througn tho window. I
do not think they will make tho at
tack before twelve, so I will get otft
of this window, jump from the shed,
go to the barn aud take our horse,
and go to S— for help.”
Flinging a wrap over her slight
figure, she embraced her father ten
derly, and bidding him not to worry
over her, she jumped lightly out on
the shed and and; •. pneared.
Mr. Spencer watched her for
awhile, then closing the window, took
ont a watch, saw that it was nine
o’clock, and proceeded to work.
He first covered up tho fire, blew
out the light, and rolled up a blank
et, with which be made a mummy.
This he placed in the bed which Ins
daughter was to occupy.
Then he sat down aud waited—oh.
how anxiously I
Ten, fiifteen, twenty minutes went
by, a.id no sound came from tho vi
cinity of the barn.
Taking off his boots, lie crept
noiselsssly to the window aud peered
out and he could see nothing.
Then creeping to tho wauhstand he
laid his money belt in the drawer and
closed it.
lie then threw himself on the bed
and once more waited.
After an hour had apparently gone
by, Mr. Spencer threw off his coat
and vest, tumbled up tho bed, hob
bled to the door, unlocked it, and
stepped out into the hall. This was
all in accordance with Carrie’s plan.
“Landlord! landlord!” he shouted.
He then went back into the room
and noiselessly threw up tha win
dow, all the time shouting for tbe
landlord.
That worthy esmo flying up tho
stairs, and, late as it was, h was still
dressed.
“Oh, landlord 1” gasped Mr. Spen
cer rushing toward him, “I have
been robbed 1 my money is gone!”
“Gone!” echoed tho landlord in
dismay.
“Who could have stolen it 1 ”
groaned Mr. Spencer. “I had &ve
thousand dollars in a belt, end it is
gone—stolen 1”
The landlord lit the candle and
looked around, chagrin depicted on
every feature.
“Why don’t yon wakeyour dangh.
ter sir?” he questioned.
Mr. Spencer hurried to her bed.
“Carrie, Carrie !’’ he called, but no
answer came, and the landlord, draw
ing near with tbe light, saw the
duramie, and cried—
“ Why, man, the girl isn’t there!”
“What!” gasped Mr. Spencer.—
.‘Oh, I see it all I The wicked girl
has robbed me while I slept, and run
off to meet her lover, from whom I
was taking her.”
He ran to the window, followed by
the landlord.
“Yes, yes, here are footprints in
the snow on the ehed!” cried the
landlord, while Mr. Spencer groaned
aloud. “How lopg do you yon think
she has been gone sir?’’ asked the
landlord.
“For an hour or more, the deceit
ful jadel” replied Mr. Spencer.
“Then there is no use looking for
her, sir” replied the landlord.
“Oh, but I must!” cried Mr. Spen
cer, as he began to deoend the stair
way, followed by the landlord, who
bad believed every word Mr. Spen
cer said.
They proceeded to the barn, fol
lowed by the landlord’s confederates.
They found the horse gone and her
mode of flight easily explained.
“You may as well give her up,
sir,” said the landlord, consolingly.
“I suppose I may,” groaned Mr.
Pioneer, and they returned to the
house, - v
As they left the barn lie heard tho
landlord whisper to ono of his con
federates—
•‘The job’B up, Jem, we’d better
lot the old man alone.”
Onco more entering tho room, Mr.
Spencor threw himself on the bed,
and awaited the return of his brave
daughter.
“God bless her and bring her back
in safety,’’ ho murmured.
Meanwhile all grow still, and tho
hours rolled by.
The fire had been raked up and
cracked merrily. The eyes were not
looking from tb| bust; they had evi
dently disappeared for the night.
At last, after What seemed an age
to the anxious watcher, he heard a
loud knock on the front entrance, and
fivo minutes afterwards heard tho
landlord stumble to the door. Then
followed a confused juinblo of curses
and struggles, then a rush of many
feet up the long hall and stairway.
The next minute the door was
thrown open and his daughter rushed
in, followed by tho officers, who
dragged in tho landlord and his con
federates.
“Oil, fathetl’’ sho cried, “you are
safe, safe!” and throwing her arms
around his nook the brave girl burst
into happy toafa,
The sheriff and his possa of men
held the landlord and his confeder
ates in a vice-Jjke grasp, while Car
rie related the adventures of her per
ilous ride.
“ Vftcr I left tho barn I led Tom
my to a fence, all unsaddled, sprang
on him, wonnd my arms tightly
round his nock, and whispered, ‘Go
Tommy!’ and away we went like the
wind. Up and down, over the froz-m
road we went! My arms felt like
ice. I thought I should certainly
freeze, and after what seemed an age
of cold and pain, and misery, we
dashed into the main street of S—.
As we came up in front of the tavern
the stage drove up, and tho inmates
sprang out and rushed to my assis
tance. I must havo been almost in
sensible, had to bo carried in
by the landlord. I was given warm
drinks until I fully recovered, and
was able to relate my story. I told
them my suspicions and my fears,
and this gentleman”—heio Carrie
poised, and filming to a fine look
ing man near her, said, “Mr. James,
by his ready belief in what I told,
and his energy and spirit in arousing
the sheriff and his men, has been tho
main cause in bringing assistance.”
Mr. Spencer grasped the young
man's hand and thanked him.
“Your plan succeeded admirably.
Carrie,” be said, and advancing to
the wa<hstandje took out tho money
“all right, ns yea see.”
Tho landlord quivered with raga
as ho saw bow completely ho had
been defeated.
As the men began to aearcli the
room, the landlord protested his in
nocenee, declaring that they had no
right to hold him or hie men prison
ers or to search his house.
Breaking open the door, above in
which was tho bust, tho men rushed
iu.
The room was empty, save for a
long laddor, which reached a shelf
thrust his head in the bust, which
was largo enough for an ordinary
sized man’s head, and see all that
was going on in the adjoining room.
This certainly looked suspicious,
but absolute proof was yet wanting.
On reluniiug to the room occupied
by Mr. Spencer, they again searched
every nook and corner.
Suddenly, Carrid and Mr. James,
who bad been Standi ig by the fire
place, gave a loud cry, for on close
cxaminatioa they had found spots of
blood on tho bricks which formed tbe
berth.
They began to pnll up the bricks,
which proved loose, when Garrio,
feeling faint 1 gave way to the sheriff
and his men , who soon had them all
pulled, when a cavity was disclosed,
containing the dead body of a gen
tleman whom Mr. James and the
sheriff remembered to have stoped at
T three days before.
The evidence was conclusive.
The landlord had his confederates
were well guarded through the night
and the next day was lodged in jail,
wherein due time they were senten
ced and suffered the extreme penalty
of the law.

Whut Men Need Wiles for.
It is not to sweep tho house, make
tho bed, darn the socks and cook the
meals, chiefly that a man wants a
wife. Il tins is all, when a young
man calls to see a lady, send to tho
pantry to last the bread and cake shu
has made, send him to inspect the
needlework and hod making, or put
a broom in her hand and sen,! him to
witness its use. Such things are im
portant, and the wise young men will
quickly look after them; but wlmt
tho true men wants with a wife is
her companionship, sympathy and
loVa. The way of life has many drea
ry places in it, and men needs 4 com-
panion to go with him. A man is
sometimes overtaken by missfortune.
he meets with failure and defeat;
trials and temptations beset him, and
ho needs one to stand by and sympa
thize. Ho lias soino Lard battles to
fight with poverty, enemies, and with
sin; and ho needs a woman that when
he puts his arm around her, ho feels
that ho has somthing to fight for,
sho will help him tight: that sho will
put her lips to his car and whisper
words of counsel and her hand to his
heart and imparl inspiration. All
through life, through storms and
through sunshine, conflict and victo
ry, through adverse and through fa
voring, winds, man needs a woman's
love. Tho heart yenius for it. A
sister's a mothers hue will hardly
supply the need. Yet many seek for
nothing further than succes in house
work. Just enough, half of those
got nothing more; the half surprised
beyond measure, lmvo gotten more
than they sought. Their wires sur
prise them by bringing ont 11 noble
idea in marriage, ami uisolosing a
Ueasury of couruge, sympathy and
Jove.
Contentment.
Contentment in*farming can bo
secured by very sirnylo mean*; care,
diligent; economy, are main ingredi
ents in the desired success. It will
pay to keep the fence corners
clean, so that grass will grow in them
and so that yonr neighbor will in*ft
take offence because of tho thietfos
and other foul seeds that you allow
to mature and find their way into his
cleanly kept fields. It will pay to
build cheap gates as they will save
enough valuable time iu the busy sea
son of the year, to pay for tho con
srructing them many times over. It
will pay to build tho dwelling house
with a view of suving steps.
In constructing or remodeling their
houses, farmers would do well to con
sult their wives, for they would sug
gest ideas by which tho homo could
ho made moro convenient. It will
pay to use more paint, in doors or
out. It will pay to encourage tho
children.—Give them an occasional
day for recreation.
Give the boj a colt or calf to raise,
and let him have the money it is sold
for, to invest in some way that meets
with your approval. I , will pay to
make home .o attractive that it will
always be pleasant for the man to think
over Ills boyhood days. A pleasant
home will make better boys and bet
ter men. It will pay to supply the
house with good reading matter,
such as agricultural papers, etc, and
as one can afford. It will pay to plant
and cultivate fruit trees of all kinds
plenty of good fruit produco health
and longevity.
Children Never Live Lonff.
When they are not carried away
in little coffins and laid forever in
the silent grave, they become trans
formed so rapidly that wo lose them
in another way. The athletic young
soldier or colegian, the graceful he
roin of the ball-room, may make
proud the parental heart, Put can
they q‘lio console it for tho eternal
loss of the little beings who plagued
aud enlivened tho earley years of
marriage? A fattier may sometimes
tael a legitimate and reasonable mel
ancholy as lie contemplates the most
promising of little daughters, full of
vivacity and health, How long will
the dear child remain to him? Bhe
will be altered in six months ; in six
years she will be succeeded bny a to
lallv different creature—a creature
new in flesh and blood and bone,
thinking other thoughts and speak
ing other langugo. There is sadness
even in that change which is increase
and progression, for the glory of
noonday lias destroyed the sweet
delicacy of the dcwvy Aurores, and
•the wealth <>f summer obliterated
ihe freshness of spring.

An Original Carpel-Bugger.
' A corespondent of the Fayetteville
Ouondaga County, Now York, lie-,
oorder, has written about tlio dis
covery of a grate ourioHity in the up
per or cast end of inunlnu Village.
It is what might bo called a “stone
eai'pet-baggsr.’’ It is in the form or
shape and of 1110 size of a well filled
carpet- bag. It is solid, except a
smoothly rounded hole in tho upper
part, rumng clear throiih it’ and hav
ing above it a roguler storm handle,
by which il can be conveniently car
ried. The bag is much distended,
and clearly shown tho owner must
have had in* it many more ariicios
than his hair brush and shaving tools
nt the time lie lost it. Whether any
light would bo thrown npun 1 1, a /jrj.,
gitml content* by breskipg it up, or
lowing it into atrinv, it 1* imp.nub 0
to say; but it would be a very great
pity to have so great a curiosity ruth:
lcssly destroyed to satisfy a selfish in
quisitiveness*. It lias been sugges
ted that thin oiico carpet and stone
bag probably formed a part of the
baggage of the Cardiff Giant. The
bag must have been owned by a very
largo and strong man, as it weigh,,
over a hundred pounds, and could
scarcely have been a satbhel carried
about by a small man.
How the Women Vote in Utah.
llow the woman of'Utah uonduicd
himselves at the lato flection in ll at
Torilory is described as follows by
a ooruspondont of the Sa.. Francisco
Chronicle: “Tho wife of ex-Secretary
Black, Mrs- Maxwell, Mrs. Ashmun,
Mrs, Lloyd, Miss Geneview Howell
and several other gentle indies, took
an active part in their respective pre
cincts and electioneered with the pol
ygamous wifes of tlio saita. They
would argue tho point in this way:
‘why Mrs —, I’iu astonished. How
can you for a moment thiuk of vo
ti"g for Cenuon? lie Ims four wives,
sud being a woman, you know lie
cannot love them all of them, as he
ought to. lie is a brute. Take this
this tie Let and vole for Baskin, a man
who dose not believe in degrading
woman.’ The gentile ladies turned
out in full force, voted liko men and
did all their talking afters ards- The
votes of several morman women were
challenged by gentlinen, who did so
with extreme courtesy and timidity.
Thu woman aro perfectly shocked
and seem afraid of swearing to their
voting qualifications. Two ot the
wives of Bishop Woolley were chal
lenged, but they woro stoutly
enough to get their votis in.”
