THAT DIME.-Save it, young man. That
dime you are upon the point of spending for
aseigar or drink of the spirit that intoxi'
Gates: If, you cannot restrain your indul,
gence in these things otherwise, get neat
little box, and wheneveryou are prompted to
spend your dime for these unnecessaryindnl'
gences, 20 to it and drop your dime therein,
and pat your foot errily to its silvery jingle.
You have no idea how these lost dimes
would count up, and the best plan is to a.
dopt this course for year, and then see the
amountin your savings bank; in this way
you will become aware how much money
you might have wasted not only wasted
money, but wasted time; and in return,
fud yourself in possession of the ruinous
habits of idleness, dissipation, and, per-
haps, gambling. These undesirable qualif.
cations are all that yon can hope to receive
in return for the moneyyou spend atthe dram-
shop. Save your noney, young man, and
spend your tune either at home in eurnest,
profitable study, or with moral and religious
associates; aud instead Of being, in your de-
clining days, grog.shop loafer and vaga-
bond. you will stand among the honored,
the wealthy and virtuous Of earth's SONS and
daughters.

AN TNVETERATE LIAR,

Davidson College, North Carolina, con,
tributes good story of man with very
bad habit As it is all about lying, the rea'
der will believe it or not as he likes:
"Iu the old North States livesa certain
John Long. who draws long bow whenever
he has anything to tell, and his character for
truth and veracity has been below zero for
many years. Captain johnson had been SO ta-
keu iu by one Of John outrageous stories that
he said to him in pet:
".If you make me believe one of your
lies again in month I'll give you fifty dol
lars
John pretended to be quite hurt by the
offer; and went off, A. few days afterwards
he was riding by the captains, post-haste, on
horseback, when the captain called out to
him:
"'I say hello Johnny stop and tell us
a lie or two this morniug!"
"John rode on but cried out most dole.
fully: "No time for lying now brother JIM

Captain Juhnson ordered his horse aud
rodeo over to see the dead man and offer his
services, but found him alive and we'll, gin

had to pay the money if John had not let

A RICH CASE.

The Atlanta (Ga.) American says: In one
Of the numerous counties of Georgia, not
many years ago, medical practitioner-not
a graduate--sued one of his patrons, for
what he owed him in Justices 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 graduutc -
Our friend, the Doctor, felt nouplussed. -
All his rides-his valuable time-and doses
of phys:c-seemed to have been bestowed
for nought,
But patience and perseverance overcomes
all things, and necessity is the mother Of in
vention. The day of trial arrived. With
an air of triumph, the defendants lawyer

.ssWELIFp-HEAD DISEASE.

This dreadful disease sometimes attacks
horses, and probably other animals, as mon-
keys and mules; and some birds, as the par
rot and mocking bird, but men are more sub.
iect to it, and with them it is more fatal.
CAUsE.-Vacuity in the Uranium. 1t is
often augmentedby fiattery especially when
the cerebum is small and ill-shaped. Men
of information, however, are sometimes af-
aicted with it, in which case there is found
an inordinate swelling in the upper part of
the head, just back of the opan cronii. The
protuberapce is called self-esteem.
SYMPToMs.-The poor creature usually
fancies himself the biggest, smartest, best
and handsomest man in the crowd-'loves
the uppermost seats in the syuagogues'
given to impudence, impertiuence, and un-
usually bad manners in compaDy-is ceDso-
rious and fond of finding fault and exposing
the foibles of his assocates-has few friends
and no lovers, and has generally bad odor
to polite people-swelling aud struttiug as if
one moment he fancied himself toad, and
the next q turkey sock. He is egotistic and
passionately fond of high sounding titles, as
Squire, Captain, Colonel, General, &c. 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 Uranium, it is onl y necessary to
fill up the vacuum with good ideas, solid
education, or common sense. When iudu-
ced by diminutiveness or malformatiou Of
the brain, the cure is slow and difficult
We have known some cases which deded
every remedy and destroyed the patients
A cure must be attempted by exercising and
cultivating those faculties which are dor.
mant, such as the judgment and the under
standing and depicting self.esteem, &C.
The skulls of these patients are usually very
thick and hard, so that it is hard pounding
any thing into them; but they are excessive.
ly fond of soft soap-give them pound or
two every day, and it will soften the skull
go that you can probably get little gump-
ton into it, or a modicum of ratiocination,
and they will soon be we'll. When this will
not cure, soft soap will paliate.
In case of those gentlemen, from ten to
twenty years old, who get to putting oD the
boots and pantaloons of their fathers, and to
teaching their teachers, reproving and coun-
selling and sometimes insulting old age,
chewing tobacco, smoking cigars and drink
ing whiskey, swearing and cutting the swell
head generally, appetite for late hours, bad
company and bar rooms, voracious-a little
oil Of birch, applied by the paternal hand is
the remedy. Then keep them out of the
air and bad weather. If this does not effect
a cure, by divine blessing the head grows
and grows till the poor sufferer topples over
q few times, and knocks out self esteem.
