Wyoming E terprise. Last evening,
however, at 5. so O. clock considerable
segment of rain bow was visible for
nearly three minutes in tho southwest.
The only color of the spectrum that
showed at all was red, and it was very
bright. The cloud that produced the
rain bow was suspended over Mount
Davidson. Persons in Washoe valley
doubtless saw the rainbow in the full
glory of its natural hues, but rear
view of it gave only the red belt. Such
a phen omenon may have been observed
before, but, if so, we have never either
heard nor real of it.

A Song or Love.

The love of the Great for the Less
Is the Suns free way;
The love Of the Like for the Like
Is the Days glad love Of the Da
But atom and mote can tell
OF a nobler love,
In glory and beauty beyond,
In blessedness far above.
'Tis the love Of the Less for the Great,
The yearning desire
OF the Poor to attain the Complete,
OF the Low to embrace the Higher;
The longing and love of the year
For the Spring unborn,
The love of the Brook for the Sea,
The love of the Night for the Morn.
