WILD OATS,
THE
Champion Comic Paper
OF AMERICA.
Tliln sparkling andl.brightly Illustrated
Weekly, humcroas nod' ratiric.il paper has
entered upon the seventh pear of its j' >ll v
existence, and the pablisbors take ptide in
saying that it will not be a whit b.hind any
thing that is American.
The publishers of "Wild Oats point with
pride to the wholly uuexamplcd success of
their paper, and, pledgeing themselves that
ct seall be injthe future even better tran _ in
the past, they ask a continuance of that kind
patronage which has placed it at the head
and front of American humorous papers.
Wc haw made arrHnKmi*uut which will
•liable us to Oats iu a brighter
anil better shape than heretofore, haring
recently taken p< ssefsion of our new pnbli
cation office, and had fine copper-faced type
cast especially for us, together with all the
vast parphwnalia required in the production
of suc<i a paper as we give the public at he
low price of teD cents per copy.
We hava also made arrangements with som
new artists, and shall at the same time re
tain such old favorites as THOMAS WORTH,
TRANK BELI.EW, HOI'KINH, WOOLF,
WALES, FRANK BEARD. BISBEE. OPPER.
STtKECKHARDT, ROTHENG ATTER, BEN
-DAY, KF7ITELLS. PALMER fX MANN,
KING*BURY, bTULL. WHITE, SPERRY,
EATON, SHELDON, etc’, while the editori
al department will still remain in the hands
of its founder, the vivacious Bricktop, of
whom enough is known without more being
said.
A an additional inducement to subscrilie
for the 'Centennial year, we have at great
expense prepared a comic chotno the crown
ing ffort of that graphic momus, Hopkins.
It ii a work of ait, 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.
Advertisers arc 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, and will not
contain a word or nn illustration which may
not be taken in every family in the land.
Fun we give in various sized doses, but never
vulgarity in any shape. -It is thoroughly
American in sentiment, wholly original,
♦harp and incisive, and right to the point in
d-aling with men and events of the day.

What a Poor, Sick Tramp.
Can Do.
From the Burlington Hawkey*.]
It was a poor, delected looking
tramp who cams limping wearily in
to town yesterday on tho Fort Mad
ison road, aud, with the insrnct of
his class, made hi* way directly to
ward Main street, where tho stimu
lant and company are most numer
ous. He had a very tired look, and
his poorly shod feet sedmed to weigh
a ton apiece. The sun bad burned
his face to even a dceepcr
brown than even the knotty hands
that hung listlessly by his sid. He
did not even carry the inevitable
stick, and the little bundle, without
which the tramp’s outfit is never com
plete—although heaven only knows
what is in it—was swung from his
shoulders by a heavy twine string
like a rude knapsack. No man is
alive now that wore clothes when the
hat he wore was made. It was a
fearful and wouderfu! hat, andattrac
ed more attention than anything be
had on or about him. He limped
along Main street from Locust up,
diving into private houses in occa
sional forays for bread, which were
generally successful, for his poor, de
jected, soirowful looking faco threw
a great deal of silent eloquence into
hi* pleading, and the women could
not bear to send tho low voiced man
away hungry. These forays were
varied by occasional dives into places
of refreshment, whore he vainly
plead for a smnll allowance of ardent
spirits for a sick rnan; the general
result being that ho was courteously
refused and gently but firmly kicked
out by the urbane barkeeper, who
saw too many of him every day to
be much moved. Tho poor fellow
limped along till he got a little above
division street, when he had to pass
a knot ot young men, and one of
them, a smart looking chap, in a very
gamey costume, and carrying a
broad pair of shoulders and a bullet
head, surmounted, with a silver-gray
plug hat, hung on his right ear, sang
out :
“O, shoot the ha<!”
The poor tr-rnp only looked the
more and jeeted than ever, if possible*
and shook his head meekly ami sor
row fully, and limped on. But the
yonng sport shouted after him:
“Come buck, young fellow, and
nee how you’ll trade hats!”
The outcast paused and half turned
and said, in mournful tones:
“Don’t make game of a ontortnit
man, young gents. I’m poor and I’m
sick, but I’ve tha feelin’a of a man,
an kin feel it when I’m made game of.
If you could give me a job of work
now—”
A chorus of laughter greeted the
suggestion, and the smartest young
min repented his challenge to trade
hats, and finally induced the mendi
cant to limp back.
“Take off your list/' said the
young man of Bnrlington, “and let’s
sec whose make it is; if it isn’t Stet
son’s I won’t trade.’’
“Oh, that’s Stetson’s” chorused the
crowd. “He wouldn’t wear anything
but a first-clan hat.”
But the tramp replied, trying to
limp away from the circle that was
closing around him:’
“Indeed, young gents, don’t be
hard on a onfortinit ntan. I hain’t
had it off fur rnor’n two months, in
deed I hain’t. I don’t believe I kin
git it off at all. Please let mo go
on.”
But the unfeeling young men
crowded around him more closely
and insisted that the hat should come
off, and the smartest joung msn in
the company said he’d pull it off for
him.
“Indeed, young gent,” replied the
ptram, apologetically, “I don’t 1 re
lieve you could get it off; I don’t
really.”
The young man advanced and
made a motion to jerk off the hat,
but the tramp jumped back and threw
up his hands with a clumsy, frighten
ed gesture.
‘“Come, young gent,-’ he whined,
“don’t play games on a poor fellow
as is looking for the county hospital.
I tell ye young gents, I’in a sick
man, I am. I’m on the tramp when
I ought to be in bed. I can’t hardly
stand, and I hnin’t got the strength
to be fooled with. He easy on a
poor—”
But the sporting young men cut
him off with, “Oh, give us a rest,
and take off that hat.” And then
lie made a pass at the poor sick man’s
hat, hut Ins hand met the poor s : ck

tramp** elbow Instead. And then
the poor man lifted one of his hands
above, as high as a derrick, and the
nest instant the silver-gray plug hat
was crowned so far down on the
young man’s shoulders that the
points of the dog's eared collars
avert sticking up through the crown
of it. And thon the poor siok man
tried his other hand, and
crowd started off to
young man out of a show window
where he was started he, off
head, while the rest of the congrega
tion were trying their level best to
get out of the way of tho poor sick,
tramp,_wh was feeling about him is*
a vague, restless sort of way that
made the street lamps rattle every
time he found anybody. Long be
fore any one could interefere the
convention adjourned sine die, and
the poor tramp, limping on his way,
the very personification of wretched
ness, sighed ns ho remarked apolo
getically to the spectators:
“I tell you, gents. I’m a sick man;
I’m too sick to feel like foolin’; I’m
jest so tick that when I go gropin’
aronnd for somethin’ to lean up agin
I can’t tell a man from a bitehin’
post; I can’t actually, and when I rub
again anybody, nobody hadu’t ought
to feel hard at mo. I'm sick, that’s
what I am.’*
Cotton.
Colton is a very saranga thing. It
would be the fuDniest thing in the
land if tampering with it did not re
sult so seriously in many cases. It is
the only thing men persis in raising
when they can buy it cheaper than
they can raise it. Ask a farmer why
he does not raise corn and meat, and
lie will tell you it is cheaper to buy
I. it is rcallv choaper to buy it, yon
can’t blame him. But wait till this
proposition gets out of bis m'nd, and
ask him if he made anything on his
last crop of cotton. He w ill toll you
no; it cost bint eleven cents and he
to Sell it for ten. If yon ask him why
he persists in raising it when it costs
more tnan it sells for, and he will tell
you that cotton is the only crop for
which he can got money. Suggest
to him then that it nn article cost as
much as it will sell for (or more) the
money is of no use to him, pecausc
he mils', pay it all out, and that there
fore there is no profit in it, no matter
how much money ho gets for it; and
he will turn away disgusted, aud say
you know nothing ahou’ farming.
Well, that may bo true, and yet
you know some things about profit
nnd loss that he might study profit
ably. One fact he ought to learn is
that no matter how great a man’s in
come, if he spends it all, there is no
prohit to him. Another fact is that
if he borrows money and goes on
credit and thereby spends moro than
he eventually receives, his utter finan
cial ruin i only a question of time.
The cul iration of cetton has resulted
in more financial disaster than any
other cause. We are glad that our
(armors are mending their ways in
regard to this, and we earnostly hope
that their future may be moro pros
perous than their past. —La Grange
Reporter.
As E-capk from Sububinu Floors,
—A lady writer, in one of her letteis
to the Christian Weekly tells how
she succeeded in obviating almost
entirely the drugery of scrubing-
She says she prettred from a drug
gist three quarts of boiled lenseed oil
ar.d the same amount, of shellac var
nish; also, a paint brush. This quan
tity of material will cover as much
floor aft thirty yards of carpet, and
cost only three dollars and a half.
The floors were cleaned as thougbly
as posib'c, and all spots that will not
wash out ought to bo planed off.
We put on the first coat in the cavcn
ing, and next morning it was dry.
The followig eay.-ing we put on a
coat of shellac varnish’ which was
dry by morning. Then, after two or
three days we pnt on a final coat of
oil, but as the wood will absorb but
very little oil this lime, we put it on
with a flannel and rub it in as thor
oughly as possible. It was soon dry
and ready for use. Now we have
beautiful floors easly kept clean by
wiping off the oil with cold water.
Onced in two or three months we
can go over them with a little o
the boiled oil, and have them look as
well ns ever, again. Such floors
wou’d rn'i “efeaning time” of half its
terrors, and add largely to the puri’y
of the atmouspliere of our house, al
ready poison- by air tight “loves and
furnaces. It is a cheap reform ami
easly tried.
Romance at thQ Avenue.
lie wasn’t drunk, it was onlt his
hoots. “• -
One night last week a member of
Congress, quite an except ional one,
in respect of the proprieties of hi> ;
station and from a social point of
view, called on n well known young
lady of this city. The pavemanu
ere shippery aud his feet were wet..
While wailing ia the parlor and vain
ly essaying to imbibe warmth at the
register, a lucky thought .struck him,
yts there was no one iq the room and
no prospect of his f lady acquaintance
for twenty minutes, ntr-Twaovcd his
boots and stretched his brown sock
encased feet >n front of the register.
The effect was soothing and comfort
able, and when suflioently satisfied
with tho heat of our Gongressinoal
rooster started to pull on his damp
boots. Tho movement progressed
finely ns far as the legs were con
cerned, but the rapid transit was
wholly stopped when he struck the
instep and there stuck. Stamps and
oaths, jerks and wrestling with the
log straps were of no avail. He
heard tho rustle of the lady’s dress,
and crowding his off foot into the
remaining boot stood, with perspira
tion on his brow and cold chills down
his back to receivo her. When e>ho
entered he sank to his chair with re
lief. and with the exception of some
absent mines*,nil progressed untill her
father stepped in, when, rising to
greet the paternal bird, onr M. C.
lurched dreadfully, so raatkedly that
he was keenly watched in his conver
sation, and his embarassed language
resulting from the situation subjected
to serotinous suspicion.
The general idea prevalent was no
favorable to the Congressional ser
vant of the people, anil worse still
lie forgot himself, end asking the
young lady bo sing offered to es
cort her to tho piano, which, under
lhc circumstances, he could not very
actively accomplish. As it was ho
lurched to leeward and starboard,
rolling on the upper* of hi* treach
erous boots; while the lady recoiled
from an abrupt fall on his part, and
the o'd man seized him violently by
the shoulder.
“You are a little off,’’he said as
politely as possible with the occasion,
“I Will call my man; ho will see you
home.
“I ain't drunk,” expostulated the
member, “it’s toy boots only; my
boots.”
“Why yon must be in a bad waj!
Snakes in your boots? No, no, my
good fellow don’t bo alarmed, a
good night’s rest and ail will be wel
Thomas— ’*
“Yon infernal old fool,” howled
tbe booted man; exasperated beyond
the limit of decency by his wretched
condition and tho placidjtnissunder
standing of the old gentleman; “you
infernal old fool, I ain’t drunk! I can
lick the head offn you in two min
utes —I ain’t drunk!”
“I never saw a man in a more
rampant and beastly state of intoxi
cation in my life.” (This in an under
tone) it were not tbatlain restrnin
cd by the servants I would nut you
out myself. Thomas show this man
to tbe nearest street car.”
Overcome by the coolness of the
ntan and the muscular development of
the derkey boy, tho unhappy mem
ber was led out jogging and jerking
on his rickety boots and spraining
an ankle at every luich. The dar
key boy rctnrned in a few miutes,
saying.
“Godlimity! I never see such
drunken man in my lit *. Ho wanted
to fight me fast and then gimme ten
dotlah bill fo’rny idiocs, and sot down
on de cu’bstono and put ’em on. Dey
was too tight fo’ though fo’ ho was
a repuplican gen’lman!’
(As he was a Republican member
we deem it necessary to state that
the ten dollar bill in thi- instance was
not counterfeit.
That liilthy vampire Murtagh is
gaining a repniation that vaill stink
in the nostrils of decent men of all
parties everywhere. The insight
which the dii-clostires give of the
lower life in Washington is siniplv
repulsive, and rewinds us of a remark
made by parson Urowidow m a
spcach delivered in Alivi!le-, N. C.
He said the nearest he ever was to

ton.” * _
Why is a man who expects a kiss
and is refused like a shipwrecked
fisherman? Because lie has lost Ins

If Wo Worn Roys Again.
Let me tell you, my young friend,
•otno of the things I would do if I
were a hoy again; somo of the too
often neglected acts I would strive
to accomplish if it were in my power
to begin all over anew.
If I were a boy again, I would
have a blank book in which I could
accord, before going to bed, every
day’s events just as they happened
to me personally. It I began by
writing only two lines a day in my
dairy, I would start my little book,
and faithlnlly put down what hap
pened to interest me.
On its pages I would note down
the Imbits of birds and animals as I
Raw them, and if tho horso fell ill,
down should go lus malady in my
book, and what cured him should go
there too. If the cat or Jog showed
any peculiar traits, they should nil
be chronicled in my dairy, and noth
ing worth recording should escape
me.
There are hundreds of things I
would correct in my life if I were a
boy again, and among them is this
special one: I would be more careful
of my teeth. Seeing since I have
grown up, how much suffering is in
duced by the bad habits of constantly
eating candies and other nuisances,
would slim my mouth to all allure
ments of that sort. Very hot and
very cold substances I would stir
diously avoid.
Toothache in onr country is one of
the national crimos. Half the peo
ple wo meet have swelled faces. Tho
dentist thrives here ns he does in no
other land on the plnnet, and it is
because w e spoil our teeth at the age
of five to six years. A child eight
years old, asked me not long ago if
I could recommend him to a dentist
“who did’t hurt 1” I pitied him, but
I was not acquainted with such an
artist. They all hurt, and they can
not hcln it, poor, hnrd-wdrking gen
tlemen, charging, as they do, like
Chester.
I would have no dealing with to
bacco, in any form, if I were a boy
again. My fiiend Pipes tells mo ho
is such a martyr to cigar-boxes that
his life is a burden. -The habit of
smoking lias become such a tyrant
over him that he carries a tobacco
bowsprit at his damp, discolored
lips every hour of the day, ami lie
begs me to warn all tho boys of my
acquaintance, anti say to them cm
pba'icaliy, “Don't learn to smoke!”
He tells me, sadly, that hi* head is
sometimes in such a dizzy whirl, and
his brain so foul from long habits of
smoking he can not break off, that bo
is compelled to forego much that is
pleasant in existence, and live a to
bocco-tortued life from year to year.
Poor Pipes! lie is a sad warning to
young fellows who aro just learning
to use the dirty, unmannerly weed,—

The Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise
says that some weeks ago a young
scapegrace in that city, who hail
left his parental roof in New York
tinder a cloud in 1805, concluded to
“put a job on the old gentleman and
mike a rio. He accordingly tele
graphed to his father in New York:
Mr, : Your son Wal'cr was kill.
ed in ths Con Virginnia this morning
by a falling cage What shall we do
with the remains.
"M. F. Barker.’’
Almost immcdiaily a telegraphic
order cattle for ft 150 and the laconic
reply: “Bu>y them.” the ficticious M.
L. Barker seized the S3O and went
on a royal spree, and a few weeks af
ter ward lie wro'.e to his father over
his real name as follows:
Dear Father: 1 have just learned
that nn infamous scoundrel named
Barker sent you a fictitious account
of my death and swindled you out of

and left the country, I write to in

five years having been lost—a disas
trous Btock speculation—and If yon
would spare me S2OO I w ill ever be
thankful for your favor. Give my
love to all. Your affectionate son,
Wai.teu.
A few days later the young tnan
received the following:
My Dear Son: I have hurried

decline having any more transactions

Business is Business.
Probably you hav# not heard of
tho new firm of Hull A Johnson. It
is a very young firm, and has not
as yet, made any great stir even in
Ronton.
The senior partner i* Mary Flor
ence Hull, a daughter of the very
advanced Radical who edit* the Bos
ton Crucible. Mr. Hull’* liobtiy is
the aboliiion of all marriage and di
-1 vorce laws, leaving the citizen froe to
make his or her domestic arrange
ments tinder n general law of con
tracts; and hie preaching of this new
social gossip ha* bom fruit, m hi#
ovit household, f nowhero else.
The junior partner is Horace Alvi*
Johnson.
Thursday evening, while the Cru
cible editor was entertaining some
Radical friends at bis house, 4 Bate*
place, Mary arked him to read aloud.
It proved to be a business aud con
jugal contract,” and ran as follows:
We, whose names are hereunto
affixed, do, on this twenty-sixth day
of December, in the year one thou
sand eight hundred nnd seventy-fix
of tho Christian Era, enter into a
business and conjugal contract; the
firm to be known as Hull & Johnson.
We regard ourselves ns, in every
sense of tho word, equal partners,
pi xmising to strive to treat each
other, under all circumstances, ns be
comes snob. We promise that we
will not try in any other way than by
advice or persuasion to control the
actions ot oach other. Believing that
neither Church nor State has any
business with onr affairs, we propose
to live our own lives without refer
ence to either further than, if neces
sary to give security to the Com
monwealth of Masachussolts than
onr children, should we be blessed
with offspring, shall be, at least, as
well cared for a* are a majority of
those born in legal wedlock.
We further contract that when
mutual love shall no longer justify
our conjugal union, we shall part,
giving the State as little troublo in
our porting as we havo in coming to
gether.
Tiio reading finished, Mary and
Horace asked any one in the compa
ny who knew any just cause or im
pediment —or words to that effect —
to speak out thon and there, or for
ever thereafter hold his peaco. If
the paper wasn’t right, or if they
were not right, they wanted to know
it. No one offering any objection,
they stepped to the table aud signed
the contract.
Mary and Horace are now keeping
house at 30 Hudson street- and Mr.
Hull says they aro ‘‘to ell appear
ance onjoying as much happiness as
falls to people in tins life.— N. Y.tSun.
A Warning to Young Mon.
Ono of our exchanges says: “Young
tnan beware of the demon, tobacco!
has sent many a young man to an
untimely grave, and cut short tho
lives of some of our best men. It
saps the juices of life and bankrupts
yonr pockets.” True, true! Looking
back over our acquaintances we can
remember many young men who be
gan smoking at nn early age and still
Demist in the babbit, who present a
sinking contrast to those who refuse
to touch tho weed. There was Will
Warner. He smoked inccsently, and
never got a higler position than bank
cashier,while Bill Blobbs, who never
smoked, as soon uh he became cashier
stole a mi l on of dollars,aud is now
living in luxurious ease in Europe.
Then was Dick Junes, who never
touched tho weed, and his brother
Bill, who was always smoking. Dick
has now a permanent position for
life, whilo Bill wanders about the
street in rags. Bill is a tramp and
Dick is in State’s priscu. Then there
was Mollic S. her father smoked and
aud she eloped with a tin peddler
who has struck a fifty barrel well
Her schoolmate, Sunni-, conic from a
family that abhorred the weed and
she has been married three times got
two divorces, and a third is pending,
in court. When we remember these
fearful examples of devotion to the
weed, wc shudder at the curse which
is on the country, Young man yeu
arc spending twenty cents a day on
tobacco. If you save that up in a
million of years from now you can
pocket the magnificent niim of 01,
250,000, and even in a few years, by
saving what you pay /<>r tobacco,
you might be aide to buy a nice
house aud Jot —a in a mortgage on
it.
