Y. Dispatch. SWELLED-HEAJ) DISfeft.SE. This dreadful disease sometimes attacks horses, aud probably other animals, as mon keys and mules; and some birds, as tbe parrot aud mocbino bird, but men are more sub C ' ject to it, and with them it is more fatal. Cause.?Vacuity in the cranium. It is often augmented by flattery; especially wheo the cercbum is small and ill-shaped. Men of information, however, are sometimes afflicted with it, in which case there is fuuud an inordinate swelling in the upper part of* the head, just back of the apax cranii. The protuberance is called self-esteem. Symptoms.?The poor creature usually fancies himself the biggest, smartest, best and haudsomest man in the crowd?'loves the uppermost seats in the synagogues'?is given to impudence, impertiuence, and unusually bad manners in company?is censorious and fond of finding fault and exposing the foibles of his associates?has few friends and no lovers, and has generally a bad odor to polite people?swelling and strutting as if one moment he fancied himself a toad, and the next a turkey sock. He is egotistic and passionately fond of high souuditig titles, as Squire, Captain, Colonel, General, &e. The miserable patient is sometimes so infatuated as to attempt to stride the ocean, or jump over very high mountains. These are only a few of the symptoms of this malady, "but enough to identify it. Treatment.?When it is caused by emp tiness of the cranium, it is only necessary to fill up the vacuum with good ideas, a solid education, or common sense. Wheu iuduced by diminutiveness or malformation of the brain, the cure is slow and difficult.? We have known some cases which defied every remedy and destroyed the patients.? A cure must be attempted by exercising and cultivating those faculties which are dormant, such as the judgment and the understanding and depleting self-esteem, &c.? The skulls of these patients are usually very thick and hard, so that it is bard pouudirig any thing into them; but they are excessively fond of soft soap?give them a pound or two every day, and it will soften the skull ! so that you can probably get a little gutup- I tion into it, or a modicum of ratiocination, | and they will soon be well. When this will not cure, soft soap will palliate. Id case ot tDose gentlemen, rrom ten to \ twenty years old, who get to putting od the boots and pantaloons of their fathers, and to j teaching their teachers, reproving and coun- j selling and sometimes insulting old age, | chewing tobacco, smoking cigars and drink- [ ing whiskey, swearing and cutting the swell-1 head generally, appetite for late hours, bad ; company and bar rooms, voracious?a little t oil of birch, applied by the paternal hand is tbc remedy. Then keep them out of th6 | air and bad weather. If this does not effect i a cure, by divine blessing the head grows and grows till the poor sufferer topples over a few times, and knocks out self esteem. A RICH CASE. The Atlanta (Ga.) American says : In one j of the numerous counties of Georgia, not many years ago, a medical practitioner?not a graduate?sued one of his patrons, for what he owed him in a Justice's Court. A limb of the law suited to the locality, and the client, undertook the defence, and contested the claim on the ground of the disciple of Esculapius not being a regular graduate ? Our friend, the Doctor, felt nonplussed.? All his rides?his valuable time?and doses of phys'c?seemed to have been bestowed for nought, , 13ut patience and perseverence overcomes all things, and necessity is the mother of invention. The day of trial arrived. With I an air of triumph, the defendant's lawyer , J paraded his authorities and raaje a crushing: argument, utterly dcuiofishing the poor M. D., as he thought. When he had concluded, the Doctor approached the Justice's Bunch and depo ited what he claimed to be his diploma, and with a-respectful bow, politely retired to his seat. The lawyer locked at the formidable docu. raent. scrutinized Jit several minutes, while big drop.* of sweat rolled down his face ? Uliable to dispute its authority <>r 6nd ,a flaw, "he handed it in despair to the Justices ? These gentlemen looked at the myterious character, and turned the sheet in every possible positian. After having examined it to 4>beir satisfaction, and privately consulted over the case, they decided in favor of the plaintiff. The friendly paper was a circular in reference to Jew David's plaster, printed in Dutch! questionsTanswered. Nebraska Post, under the above cap won. says; . A few days since, we received a Jetter .fnnu a friend at the East, making enquiries in regard toour Territory, from -which we clip the following questions, and append the answers: . - ; What bind of a conntry do you live in ?'

AN INVETERATE IiIAR. Davidson College, North Carolina, con- j tribute? a good story of a tuan with a very.j bad habit As it is all about lying, the rea- < [ der will believe it or not-as he Jibes ? j "In the old North States lives'a certain John Long, who draws a long bow whenever he has anything to tell, and his character for truth and veracity has been below zero for tnanyyear8. Captain Johnson had been so takeu in by otieof John's outrageous stories that he said to him in a pet : " ?lf you make tue -believe one of your lies agaiu in a month I'll give you fifty dollars.' John pretended to be quite hurt by the offer, and went "off. A'few days afterwards he was riding by the captain's, post-baste, on horseback, when the captain called out to him : " 'I say ! hello Johnny ! stop and tell us a lie or two this moroiug!' "John rode on but cried out most dolefully : "No tiiue for lying now ; brother Jimmy has just been killed in the machine, and I'm going for the old folks,' Ou he went. 'Captain Johnson ordered his horse and rode over to see the dead man and offer his services, but found him alive and well, ginning cotton, and iD no danger of the tnachine. Just then John rodeupand demand ed the fifty dollars. The captain declared it was a rascally trick, but he would have had to pay the money if John had not let hitii off." Lorenzo Dow.?They tell a good story of thi? old and remarkable itinerant preach er. Riding once in stage coach, on his way to ao appointment, he fell in company with some wild young ladies, who were 1? d to imagine that he was a proper subject for their jokes and raillery, fie at once humored, their desigu by affeetiug silliness, and making the most absurd and senseless remarks. Upon arriving at the place where he was to stop, they ascertained who their butt was, and began to apologise, saying that his own conversation has rai-lt-d them. "Oh !" said he, "that's my way; I always try to accommodate myself to the com pariy lam in, and when I am among fools I talk foolish.'' Jgy How are you count ?" said a noted way to a spruce looking specio en of the ge us snob "Sir!" exclaimed the indignant swell, "who are you and why do you call me count ?" "Why I sawyou counting oysters in New York last week, and I supposed yon were of royal blood," said the wag. Snob vamoosed. Ther?- was much sound argument in the reply of a country lad to au idler who boasted of his ancient family; "So much the worse for you," said the peasaut; "as we plowmen say,the older the seed, the worse the crop."

From his jj birth-day to the present moment, he has t given all the outward indications of being deeply drunk; and yet. so far as I know*, or 1 thiuk improbable,*he has never swallowed a n drop of ardent spirits in his ltfe. Though in I pood sound health, he has never been able to a walk without staggering. .His head is al- t ways upon his breast and his speech is of that peculiar character which marks persons in a very low stage of intoxication. If, nevertheless, in the midst of his mutterings and reelings, something is said to him in a way to pass through the thick atmosphere of his intellectual being, and penetrate his mind, he at ouce rouses, like a common tippler, and gives proof enough that he is not want- i ing in native talents, however his mental faculties are enshrouded His disposition, also, seems to be extremely amiable. - He is kind to every one around him; and, I may add, he is not only pitied for his misfortune, : but iu spite of his lamentable condition, regarded with uncommon interest. He is looked upon as a star of no mean magnititudc, obscured and almost blotted out by the mist iu which he is doomed to dwell, till he shall pass from the preseut state of existence to | another. Now, as I understand the law of hereditary descent, there is nothing unnatural in the boy's case. Every individual ever born is governed by the satue priociple which caused him to be what he is. Prior to marriage, his father, had been a secret but continued inebriate: and when (he fact became ' y !# known to the gentle and sweet spirited being, who, but a few months before, had become his wife, the revelation was made suddenly, and iu a way the most impressive and appaling. One night, when he was supposed to be the most unimpeachable of husbands, he staggered home., broke through the door of his sleeping apartment, and fell down on the floor in a state of wretched inebriation. For weeks he wallowed in misery. Paring the next six or seven months, seeing that his domestic reputation had been for-., fcited, be kept up almost a continuous scene of intoxication. When at the end of this period, it was told hitn that hg was "the husband of a mother," be reeled and staggered on without abatement. . Mouths passed. away but there occurred no change in the hubite of the poor inebriate. It was at once discovered, however, that there was something singular in the appearanoeof the child. When it was three months old, there began tube some strange speculations respecting it among the people. At the age of six months, these speculations had settled dowp into a very geneiM opinion, "but not' a word vras said to the disconsolate woman, who had also begun to have her own forebodings A'( list, as she was one evening lookhig upon her child, at>d Wondering what 'could be the reasou of its strange conduct, the terrible idea flashed upon her soul?"My child is a natural drunkard I" She shriekedaloud; and her husbaud, who. happened to be within hearing distance, came tu her. fine ten upon his oeck, hud excluiiMed', '-Dear husband, our little George is born a" . She cuuld proceed no further, but swooned away in her husband's arms: * '**J From that hour the father of the boy never tasted a drop of spirits. The sight of his eyes aud the he&vings of his heart entirely cured him of his babit. He seldom looks i.pou hi-- unfortuate little George without shedding a tear over that sin which entailed | t.pon him a life of obscurity and of wretcbjedness. He has lived, L rejoice to add, so as < to redeem his character; and he is now the father of five children, all of whom are bright, and beautiful, aud lovely, excepting only the one whoje destiny was thus blasted .

Save your money, young uian/'and 1 spend your time either at home in earnest, ? profitable study, or with moral and religious associates; aud instead of being, in your de- t clining days, a grog shop loafer aud vaga- a bond, you will stand among the honored, * the wealthy and virtuous of earth's sons and ( daughters.
