The art of discom ling a punster is this: Pretend to be deaf, and after he has committed• his pun, and rjust efore he• ex pects people to laugh at It, beg his pardon, and request him to• repeat it again. After you have - made him do thiethree times, say, 'Ot that is ri pun, I believe.' • I never knew a punster venture a third exhibition under similar treatment. It requires a little nicety', so as to repeat it in proper time. If well done, the company, laugh at the- punster, and-then he is ruined forever, " MAXIM story-teller is •so often a mighty pleasant felloW that it may be deemed a difficult matter to decide whe ther he ought to be stopped or not, In case, however, that it be required, far the best way of doing it-'is this: q After be has dis charged his first talc, say across to some confederate, (for this method requires con federates, like some jugglers' tricks,) 'Num ber one.' -As soon as he has told a second, in like manner, say, ' Number two.'

Unripe Seem i . I A' correspondent of the Germantown - Telegraph, writing from lowa, says: About the year 1838 an Englishman, a doctor, and, a Scientific man, came out from Bostort\argtil settled in this country, and went to,„tarm ing, of which he knew nothing but from". books and observation. He was soon a good corn raiser, then as npw, the staple crop of this part (if the world. He never planted . 1 before the 10th of June. While his neigh.. hors were planting and re-planting and light ing and worrying with. worms, mice; and b i birds, he was looking on and waitin , his " time. He 'ploughed his ground just ore the planting, when the weeds all had a t ood, start; this made the ground clean an in good order, the weeds being so well sub-' clued -that they were of very little trou ein , afterculturei the cut-worms were gone, the h birds were hying on inseets,land re-plant- ing was unnecessary; his corn h - ad no me- .1 mies, so that he never missed gettingn fair j crop. I But this was not all his theory—m*o seed, he contended, enabled him to carry out the-other part of his syStem. He al ways gathered the seed while 'ln the milk,". and hung i up to dry; when dry it' resem bled the common sweet - table-corn. This early gathering, he contended, gave the seed greater vitality, and enabled the crop to - "grow and mature, in a shorter time than if left on the stall: - Until fully ripe,, and from, his success so it appeared. ' You may wonder why his neighbors did not fall into his system of planting. I have "wondered So too. There seemed to be a general fear of failure; most people thought he was running down the size of his _corn; but he did not, for he adhered to the system as long as be lived there, some twelve or thirteen years. There is au art in saving seeds I particular ly in that of corn. I thought would be more wise than the doctor, and. went thro' the corn when ripe, selected-the largest and best ears. This course I pursued for four teen or fifteen years, with the same variety of corn; ; but every year it gave less satis faction, as a rule, there being a few .satis faction, the last year it had so far de. generated - that at least one-third of the stalks had no corn on them. By this meth od of saving the seed, the corn was running to stalk to the neglect of the ear. Now, in gathering seeds of any. kind -1 reject the undergrown --and overgrown,'. ; whether of corn, potatoes, wheat, or any thing else, and seek for the medium in size and well matured: In wheat and other smali grains this models not so easily pract iced,' but it can bo approximated by, select ing pinches.of moderate but perfect growth.

There it is necessary. - The climate is not hot enough, and the plants have to lie started, if not grown altogether, in low, fiat glass frames. But where the cucumber grows wild, it spreads over bushes and trees,. and the growth and product is enormous.— All plants with tendrils prefer to ramble in this way. The grape vine, it is well known, seems fairly to rejoice when ;it can find a large mass of twiggy brush• to ramble.over as it wills; and so does the'eueumber..'
