THE WED AND BLACK. ROHM BOL'M. than mat F.n i mm i ii k fiii.m ii mil'll ' I'l.AKKTIF. 1 (dllIII I (dllIII ! Poor Madeline threw an affrighted look ii|ioii her husband. What in ilia world was tile little one saying? Wiik it the delirium attain the fright fnl delirium which was re turning? lioum Bourn! She knew not what that signified, and she was frightened at these sin gill nr words which the child now repealed with a sickly obstinacy, as if, not having dared until now to give expression to his dream, he clung to it with an invincible per aistenue. “Yes, Bonn) Bourn! Bonin Bourn! Bonin Bourn! I want Bourn Brum!” The mother seized Jaei|ues' hand nervously, asking in a very low tone like a mail woman: “What does that mean, that Jacques? lie is losi!" But the father wore upon his rude toil-staiued face a smile almost happy and stupefied the smile of a condemned criminal who catches a glimpse of a chance of liberty. Bourn Bourn! Well did he remember that Moll day morning of Faster when he had taken Francis to the circus. The child's shoals of joy were still ring iug In his ear and his hearty laugh st the delighted urchin, when the olown, the superb clown, all spangled with gold willi a great multi colored, scintillating, brow n- rod butterfly on the hack of bis black costume, made a sort of gam bol across the ring, tripped up a groom or stood still and motionless oil the stand with his head down ami his feet in the air, or threw to tile chandelier some soft hats which he caught skillfully on his head where they formed a pyramid one by one, and at each jest, at cacli trick, he uttered, like a happy re frain lighting up his funny, ilroll face, the same cry and repeated the same word, accompanied at times by a rumble from tlu< orchestra: Bourn Bourn! Bourn, Bourn! And every time became out, the circus rang with bravos, and the little fellow hurst into his hearty laughter. I •> am, Bourn! It was this Bonin, Bonin, the circus clown, the fun maker for half of the city whom little Francis wanted to ice and have, and w hom lie could not have, nor see since he had lioen lying in his little w bite bed. That evening, Jacques l.cgraud brought the child a jointed clown, covered with spangles which he had bought at a very high price on the way. The wages ot a working man for four days! But he would have given the wages of twenty, thirty or of a whole year to bring back a smile to the palv lips of the invalid. .a The child looked at the plaything a moment, which glittered on the white sheets, then murmured sadly: “It is not Bonin Bonin ! I want to see Bouin-llotim I Ah! If Jaeipi.\ could wrap him, in the covers and carry him to the circus and show him the clown dancing beneath the sparkling chan delier and tell him: l-ook! But Jacques did something butler,' lie went to the circus, got the clown's address and very timidly with his legs shaking with excite incut, ascended one by one the steps which l<d to the apartment of the artist at Mont M.-nte. (to iik costinl'Ku). - ■ • ♦ m ■ - - Tin: JOINT DKRATK. The second point debate between the I’hi Kappa and Demosthenian societies took place last Saturday morning, the 17th, in the I'lii Kappa hall. This debate was no less interest ing than the first, and the best de baling talent of both societies w is brought out in both old men and new ones. After the societies convened, I’rof \\\ I >. Hooper, wild had been selec ted to preside and d- eide tile ques tion, took the chair ami called the joint meeting together. After a few preliminaries the debate was called. The question debated w is “U-solved, That Labor Organi/.a lions are more productive of evil than good." Mr. Holcombe Bacon,' of the I*11 i Kappa lead otT tile de bate for the affirmative, and was followed by Mr. Haskell, of the l)c iiioslhvniaii for the negative. The other speakers were as follows: Affirmative, I’hi Kappa, Jackson, Akermau, Ilofftneyer, Fuller, Shearoiise, K/.znrd, Black, C. 11. Smith, Lanier, Stephens. Negative Dcmoslhciiinus, Kvals, Saunders, Larson, Mcfiregor, Alexander. Much discussion arose concerning, an extension of time to those who were to close the debate, but the time was not extruded. McHuylon who was to have closed for the I>e inosihvnians, refused to speak as lie did not believe that he could do himself ami the subject justice in tlie short time allowed. Mr. Steph cns closed the debate for tile l’hi Kappa. I’rof. Hooper, after a careful re view of the arguments, gave his dt cisioii in favor of the negative. The burden of proof was upon those of the affirmative, and they failed to have all that was necessary. The I’hi Kappa society then appointed a committee to confer with one Irom the Demosthenian and arrange for another joint debate. l’rof. Charbonnier treated the members of the Senior class to an experimental lecture on the subject of light, ou Thursday last. What the Signals Indicate.
