 A Coon IDkA.-A distinguished writer of this coun- try says that "An acknowledged gentleman is never bound to notice scurrlous abuse of notorious and pro- verbal black-guards." The same idea is expressed in the old saying-"A well bred mad will not insult me, and other can' It is implied also, in the fol-
 lowing passage which we came across the other day, in turning over the leaves of LAcoN :" you cannot avoid quarrel with black-guard, let your lawyer manage it, rather than yourself. No man sweeps his own chimney. but employs chimney sweeper, who has objection to dirty work, because it his trade.
 Selecting and Preserring good Seed.-The seeds of various vegetables are now daily be- coming ripe under the eye ofthe cultivator and if he does not gather the best, and make the most of all sorts of useful seeds, he neg lects one of the most important branches of rural economy. Gather the best seeds only for propagation, and let those which are not first-rate never be used for planting or sow ing. The dry kinds of seed are the best kept in their own pods or outer coverings; but the seeds of all soft fruits, such as cucumbers, me- Ions, &c. must be cleansed from the pulp and mucillage, which surround them; otherwise the rotting of these parts will spoil the seeds.
 When seeds are gathered, it should always be done in dry weather; then they should be hung up in bags in dry room, SO as to preserve them from the air.
 The selections of seeds depend principally. on proper choice of grains and kernels, as well as roots, from the most vigorous yegeta- bles, growing under our own inspection: for though it be conjectured that the cultivation of particular plant from the same seed, and in the same soil, will at length cause it to de- generate, yet numerous well attested instan- ces have occurred, in which the contrary ef- fccts have been evident. The more healthy stalks or stems should therefore be selected for bearing seeds and such as attain matu- rity at the earliest period fthe season ought to be preferred, especially if they grow at Q distance from weakly plants of the same spe- cies; lest fecundating farina of the latter be blown on the stigmata of the former, and an inferior kind of ofsuccession be produced.
 The proper time for gathering seeds is the period of their perfect maturity, which may be ascertained by the dryness of the stem {; because when the latter begins to decay, it becomes bleached by the oxygen of the at mosphere, and no further nourishment can then be conveyed to the seed.
 Not Bad.-At recent auction sale not fifty miles from Salem, the knight of the ivory headed hammer was proyokingly annoyed by the incessant and ludicrous bids of a fell low, whose whole object seemed to be to make sport for the buyers, rather than him self to buy. After enduring the fellows in,- perfinence for some time, old Going going gone peremptorily ordered him to be gone" from the auction room. The stubborn animal, in place of obeying, set himself deliberately to "argufy the topic" with our knock down friend, and inquired if he had not an indispu- table right to stay, as long as he chose, in a public auction room. The auctioneer. more incensed than ever, told him the premises were his own, and he would not tolerate his impertinence any longer, and again repeated his turn out orders. With the utmost sang froid the fellow told him that " he had con- cluded not to go." Enraged beyond endu- rance, he of the hammer, looking around the room for champion to avenge bis wrongs .NAs. kHs
