O., TUESDAY, MAY 22. Foresight vs. Hindsight (From The Southern Cultivator.] The thrifty, successful farmer is he who is always exercising a pront) ' and healthy foresight. On the othei hand the shiftless and bankrupt farm or is generally the man who always thinks tot) late and prepares to act when action has lost its power through delay. “H. E. F.,” in New York Tri bune, gives a good picture of the hind sight fanner. He writes thus: “Every farmer should have a mein orandum-book in bis pocket, in whicu should be jotted down certain items oi labor, whenever he may think abo’d them. Then, when he may be liesi tating as to what he or his employes can do advantageously during som pleasant day, the record of items wii not fail to render him valuable aid The farmer who does not take sue! thought for the future and plan opera tions for weeks and months, and some times for years ahead, will always he grumbling that bis work is bchin* its appropriate season. Let me illus trate by experience from real life, o persons by the way, who do not take the Tribune. “A near neighbor was always at tin tail end of the revolving seasons During winter he would go several times witli two horses ami sleig! more than five miles to the grocery store to make a few purchases; an<. perhaps he would take two or thro* bagfuls of grain to mill. But in spring, when the wheeling became about as heavy as possible, lie would be seen dragging a heavy load of grain to mill to be ground for feed. Well, when the sleighing was excellent* ids grain was not threshed. By being be hind, he sustained losses in several ways. Bats and mice destroyed bush els of his grain. His domestic ani mals suffered and grew poor for lack of the food and comfort which they should h^ve received from the straw. If his grain had been thrashed at the proper time a team would have been able to draw fifty bushels when the sleighing was fine, with less fatigue than they could haul ten hushols over muddy roads. “Another neighbor had commenced ploughing, but soon learned that the old stub of a plow-point could not be made to enter the hftnl irried off to get a new fie one. During the winter he had been to the city several times, when he could have purchased the share, and thus saved half a day, and 95 cents for his fare on the cars. Two weeks after his grass was fit to cut he took out his machine, hut before he could start it he was obliged to go to the city to procure a new knife for the cutterbar, which required another half day and 95 cents besides other losses. By being ‘a day behind* he failed to get his hay ready for the barn in time to avoid damage incident to a drenching rain. Bain continued, and weather continued loweVing and un favorable until his crop of hay was rendered almost worthless for fodder. If lu* had not been behiml-hand tin t one day, which was spent in fitting up ids mower, every pound of hay could have been in prime condition. The loss in 'the value of his hay be ing damaged by a long rain amounted to more than $40. “When tiic vernal seed time had al most passed, neighbor Tardy woke up to the sense of propriety of sowing millet on a few acres. So he started for the city to purchase seed. Bui just before it was received at his sta tion, a long period of wet weather set in, which rendered it necessary to de fer sowing until the latter part of May. .Sowing late, immediately af ter a l»ng period of wet weather whieh was succeeded by a drought, was the cause of a light crop. The reader can perceive, at a glance, how much one <lay in the winter would have facilita ted the farming operations of that laggard farmer, and how many dol lars would have been gained by way of a large crop, if seed had been pur chased and been ready for the soil as soon as the ground was prepared. ‘Take time by the hair,’ says Kossuth. •Forecast with care,* say we all; rt- membering that tiic best returns are to those who keep a little in ad vance of the most appropriate period to plough, sow, cultivate and mow.” hills regularly for “digging out tie Senator's foundations.” as he face tiously culled it. At last the sufferer became imbued with an absorbing desire to visually inspect the cause of his torment, and, one day yielding to a sudden impulse, lie limped into a photograph saloon, pried oflT his shoe and requested the oj>erator to take a tintype of his foot. When it was complete he almost fell off* his seat in an apoplectic fit of rage, for the i icture disclosed a small iron clump fastened to his littled toe, the screw of whieh the chiropodist evidently tightened or loosened ut pleasure. The Senator determined upon a frightful revenge,and the next morning when the corn doctor knelt to remove the sIkk.* as usual, the man of weight deliberately turned around and—sat on him! But why dwell on the sad particu lars? The com doctor was removed to the hospital, whore three month- after he filed to slow music, after hav ing mudeu lull confession, and in the full hope of a glorious immortality. Sunbeams.

X.OVE AN*D MADNESS. A most effecting auecdoto is related by Dr. Unwins in his “ Treatae on the Diseases of the brain.” A lady on the point of mar riage, whose intended husband usually traveled by the stage coach to visit her, went one day to meet him, and found, in stead of him, an old friend, who came to announce to her the tidings of Ills sudden death. She uttered a scream, and piteously exclaimed, “ He is dead !” but then all con sciousness of the affliction that liad befallen he r censed. “From that fatal moment,” says the au thor, “Fas this unfortunate female daily, for fifty j-ears, in nil seasons traveled the distance of a few miles to the spot where she expected her future husband to alight from the coach; and every day she utters, in a plaintive tone, ‘ He is not come yet! I will return to-morrow.” There is a more remarkable case, in wliich love, after it had been apparently extinct, produced a like effect upon being accident ally revived. It is recorded in a Glasgow newspaper. An old man, residing in the neighborhood of that city, found a miniature of his wife, taken in her youth. She had been dead many years, and he was a person of strictly sedate and religious habits; but the sight of this picture entirely overcame him. From the time of its discovery till Li? death, which took place some mouths after ward, he neglected all his ordinary duties nud employments, and became in a manner imbecile, spending whole days without utter ing a single word or manifesting the slightest interest in passing occurrences. The only one with whom ho would hold any com- municat on was a little grandchild, who very strikingly resembled the portrait. To her he was very docile, and a day or two before his death he gave her his purse, and strictly enjoined her to lay the picture beside him in his coffin, a request which was accordingly fulfilled. BORT. The etymology of this word is not difficult to find. It is doubtless derived from the Dutch substantive “boor,” signifying piercer, borer, etc. Holland has long enjoyed al; a monopoly of the art of cutting and ii.p /Hnjnrm.lB unA -»,li n« t stones, and Amsterdam is stil\ an imj centre of that industry. No substance, cut a diamond bat a diamond itself, and 1 that purpose diamond dust is employed 1 lapidaries. In catting a diamond every tide of the dust is carefully collected, to be afterward again used, but the chief supply of this dust is obtained by crushing to powder inferior diamonds, splinters and fragments of diamonds, and black or anthracite dia monds (sometimes called “carbonado”), all of which arc collectively known in the trade us “bort.” Scarce any English dictionary or encyclopedia contains the word, which has long been in common use among dia mond-dealers and lapidaries to designate the inferior stones and fragments I have named. “Bort” is also mncli employed in rock boring drills and for piercing holes in rubies and diamonds used in watch-making. The price of “bort” varies, according to quality, from 30s. to 50s. a carat. It is a very sig nificant word. David Davis’ Toes. A COPAL FOREST. The British Consul at Mozambique has just reported the discovery of a considerable tract of copal forest The forest is fully 200 miles long. It is a belt which runs parallel with the coast, and is midway between the coast and the first range of mountains. From luhombano it is nearly 100 miles to get right into it This is quite a distance, ami may retard its being opened up; but i‘.s discovery adds to the known wealth of the district. “The native name of this gum,” says the Consul, “is ‘Stakate’ and ‘Stnko.’ The Zulu name for gum is Tnth- Ir.kn. ’ The name ‘S'.actc' mentioned in Exodus xxr. 34 (this is believed to be the gum of the Storua tree, Styrax officinale), would l.e pronounced as the above native name. The tree domineers over all, and, standing in anyplace overlooking the forest, you see here and there trees growing as it were in a hayfield. The gum has a beautiful odor if pounded and burned, also if boiled in a pot of water. ” The ordinary gum copal tree of the mainland of Zanzibar and Mo zambique, though as a rule lofty, is by no means of the striking stature hero indicated. .Some two years ago David Davis was sufiering with a severe bunion on his left foot. At least the Senator supposed it was a bunion, although as he hadn’t seen ids feet for a genera tion, it waf pretty much a matter of guess work. However, it hurt him more than the Republican successes, so he called in a chiropodist, and when that specialist inspected the damage nud came to the surface once more, he reported that the excrescence was about mm big as a ten cent loaf, and that nothing but tiic most care ful treatment would save the foot. Mr. Davis accordingly procured a shoe of the six-'lay-go-as-you please de scription, the too of which he could almost see himself when he kicked out pretty hard. It was a sad sight to watch the presiding officer of our most dignified body hobbling up the Capitol steps supported by a big cane and the leather pedestal referred to for six months after that. It was a new : edition of Bunion's Pilgrim’s Fro- gi*ess, bound in calf. Sometimes the bunion would grow better and s nnetimes worse. Mean while, the com doctor sent in his RED IIAIR. A brave head covered with red hair is nothing else but the sun in the midst of his rays, yet many speak ill of it, because few have the honor to be so. Do not we see that all things in nature are more or less red? Among the elements, he that contains the most essence and the least substance is the fire, because of his color. Gold hath re ceived of his dye the honor to reign over metals, and of all planets the sun is most considered, only because he is most red. The best-balanced constitution is that which is between phlegmatic and melancholy. The flaxen and black are l>eside it—that is to say, the fickle and the obstinate, between both is the medium, where wisdom in favor of red- haired men hath lodged virtue, so their flesh is much mure delicate, their blood more pure, their spirits more clarified, nud con sequently their intellect more accomplished, because of the mixture of the four qualities. Falstaff didn’t say : “Better be a coward all your life than a corpse live minutes,” bat he meant it.
