The Remarkable Cloud that Mr. Smith of
Brooklyn Sdao on Tuesday Evening.
To THE EprroR OF THE SuN-Sirg On
Tuesday afternoon of this week, few
minutes after 6 o'clock, / noticed from
my window a very peculiar, solitary,
vapory object in the heavens. Its posi-
ton was about where the constellation
of the Dipper would be at that hour, viz q,
due north, and thirty-five degrees above
the horizoa. In magnitude and conto r
it in a marked degree resembled a hu-
man form, head, body, and neither linn bs.
the body and limbs robed in shadowy
drapery. The head, which was OF bright
er luminosity on the crown and fore>
head, had thick flowing hair, and the
whole figure was extended horizontally,
with the head eastward and the front
downward, But there was another fea-
ture quite as marked, and that was an
appearance as of wings projecting ups
ward and backward from the shoulders,
and these in due proportioned extent to
the body and limbs. This last named
feature gave the entirety the appearance
of an angel.
Flying in mid-heaven, considered as a
cloud, it was remarkable that it Kept
the sams outline continuously, (Which is
uncommon in those vapory objects),
while had it in view for considerable
time, as it progressed swiftly toward the
east. The luminosity of the shadowy
angel was Of golden white, and it pre-
sentcd very beautiful appearance
against the blue background of the sky.
In addition to the startling outline of the
object, the interest in it was greatly in
creased by it's being at the time the only
one visible in the whole northern heav>
ems, except some low~lying black clouds
ON the horizon. l called the attention
of several persons to 1T, one OF whom
discovered himself the resemblance l
did.
Query-Was this a pressage of a COM
ing event? 1t reminded me of the words
recorded in Mark Kill, 27: "Then shall
ne send his angels and gather his elect
from the four Winds" and those in Dan
iel ix., 81 Gabriel being caused to
fly swiftly, touched me about the time of
the evening oblation."
