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.

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. * ixs Cory at art timk will ccsvivcr you or rms.

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 HAMILTON, HARRIS 00., GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1877 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 h—ll was when he was in Washing ton.” * _ Why is a man who expects a kiss and is refused like a shipwrecked fisherman? Because lie has lost Ins smack. 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,— JostjJi T. Fields. Co'resp tndence Willi u Corpse. 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 SSO, He also borrowed SBS from me and left the country, I write to in form you that I am yet alive, and long to sec the paternal reof again. I am in somewhat reduced circum stances, the accumulation of the last 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 you once, and there’s an end of it. I decline having any more transactions ih a corp e. Yours in the flesh, Fa i hem. 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. $2.00A YEAR GOVERNMENT OF GEORGIA, - ■ XBCITIVX DRf AUTUKXT.
