We Sc Often FORGET.

Present dangers are always
met with dread, hut When passed
are soon forgotten. Just now
people, especially farmers, are
in fear of early frost, and we
often hear the remark: II new
err have seen so much wet and
cold weather" Like a cold or
the t. oh ache, it is always the
worst II ever had" The Older
settlers of Iowa will remembc,
that we had, on August 2G, 1856,
a killing frost, and the corn anC
vegetation generally were al
killed. In 1858 it commenced t,
rain in May, and continued t.
be very wet until the middle OF
September of that year. Die
you ever go through August ir
Iowa without having a cold and
disagreeable spell of weather?
Let us not be discouraged;
God has promised us seed time
and harvest, nor will He suffer
His children to beg bread. The
storms will soon pass, the high
waters go by, and prosperity
bless the people.

a grave phase during the past

many families on the low lands
to move to places of refuge.
Many reports have reached the
city today of fan .ners being
driven from their homes into
the hay-mows of their barns, in
many instances the family,
hogs, cattle and all finding re-

building.

grounds from the west fence to
