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 DAY, KEITELLS, PALMER COX.

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 tied to the back of the fiery, untamed steed. 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 vulgarity injany shape. It is thoroughly American in sentiment, wholly original, sharp and incisive, and right to the point in dealing with men and events of the day. 0 COPY AT AMY TIME WILL CCSVIMCE YOU OF f*u.

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. ■■■ - Jackson county has completed a new jail, and thought it perfectly se cure until a lunatic made his escape from it last week. 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.

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.

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.
