Dayviont, A BIMILE, T the Editor of The Tribune, Cmnicaco, Jan, 22,—This mornlng, ae T looked from the window nt the beautiful appearance of the clouds, 1 wondered how many of the Home-' Ites saw the lovely slght. The sun was hidden behind a golden veil, while above him floated clouds thiat gradually changed from the deepest crimson to the faintest pluk. HBolow a band of decp red bordered Lv bright oranze extended for some distance, while Jower yet wero bands of vurple and gray. ‘'oward the south the clouds parted, and, appearing between the lines, was o lovely, light! blue, green skv. The alght was very beautiful. ‘The hfi«e mirrored everv cloud, and &0 the sceno was repeated below, and the cast was one blaze of light and glory for a time. Boon the sun made s appearance, nnd the red, purple, orange, and green dleappearcd before his face. By und by the dark-gray clouds began to gather n frant of the brightness, and soon nll was overcast witli dull leaden clouds, but here and there ap- peared & rift through which 1 could catch a glimpse of the sun, showing that he was there, und would shine forth with’ all his glory when he could ovorcoms tho gray wall before fum, In watchlog the varlous changes in the clouds I thought how liko the lives of soma men they were. A young man starts out in life with cv- erything bright before bin, and all around pre- dlcf 'n" Joyfu!l future, but he mncets tenptation and falls. Too often the form of {he tempter {8 n wine- wlass lled with ruln in the shupe of liguor of some_kind, The seray cloud of sorrow and trouble comea over him, sl Lo falls lower aud Jower, till everyoue thinks that there §a o hope eit. The drunkard §s scorned, bnt scldom pitied, am! few thinkof the man In that case of whisky- souked flesh and bones, But the wan §s there, just as the sun was bo- Nind the cloud, and, Iif Re is glven a chance, will stiow his frieads that Lo fs abls to stand up fn his former manhood again, Iliere i a tender spot In every heart, wnd if the drunkard’s heart can be reachied bo tnay yet be made & man who resists the tomptations in his way, Let us help him to break bis way through the gray vioud about bim.

Runuiog the risk of bcluxd:nul{uml by thie old aragop, 1 will work, The character of the young Jewess was most improbable to me, but I made up my mind that 1 did not know much abont the Jews, so let that past. As for Dantel Derondn, Tdid not think much of that. Often adopted children never know who ther parents are,or that they ever had any but the ones they suppose are thielr parents, for n grent many years. " If the family with whom he Sived were deter- mined he should not know the clrcumstances of his birth, and no reference was ever made to the subject, how was ho to find It out? And as for his meeting Morderal, he was hunting for him and found him. Few persons fall who are determined fo accunplish na object. He sought and ho found, I thivk the writer has well portrayed the character of the ayverave mother ln Mrs. Davi- fow, Nhie was selfist In brooding over her own d'sappointnients, negles the duty she owed her child, and thoughtl thut sfie did not study the nature nl peeuliarities of her daugh- tery and by loveor foree eompel the obcdicnee nud conldenco “of her child, In how many liowseholds do we an eutire ylelding up on the purt of parents to their ehililrens It is de- larable tu the extreme, In trucing from effect 0 case, eich lack of character and decsion fn the right'dircction on the pare of parents s the cattse of many unhappy marrincer, Adelin_rpeaks of Uwendoien's fznorance, How conld the danghter be expected to know more than the mother?

Of course she had a chiofee of wark. 1donot think Gwendolen's gnorance fs un- comman.
