TRUTHS
The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless is pure
and rich; good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition ; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, anil arc otherwise injurious.
Urown's Iron l!m ers ill thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purif)ing and strengthen
ing it, and thus tli i e disease from
any part of the system, aud it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, aud is xsi
lively not injurious.

I.
Tho Chi.rgo of th (latlant Three Hundred,
Iho Heavy Ilrlgidc.
Down the hill, down tho hill, thousands of Hus-
slabs,
Thousands of horsemen drew to tie valley
And stayed.
Forscirlelt and Bcarle't'l three hundred were
rldlog by,
When the points tf tho HussUn lances broke In on
tho sky;
And called i "Left wheel Into line," and they
wheeled and obeyed.
Then bo looked at th" ho-t that had halted, ho
knew not why,
And he turned ha:t round and ho bado Ids
trumpeter sound
"To the charge," and he rodo on ahead, as hi
waved his blade,
To tho gallant three hundred, whose glory will
never die,
Follow and up the hill 1"
Up tho hill, up tho hill, followed tho II nvy
ltrtgade, . ' f 'if A i
The trumpet, the gallon, tho cuuge and the ml h
of the fight.
Down the hill slowly thousands of Itusslans
Drew to the valley and haltc 1 at I ist on tho heigh c
with a wing pushed oJt to tho left, and a wing
to tho right.
But Scarlett was far on ahad, and he dashed u
alone
Through thj great gray slope of nun
And he whirled hti sabre, ho held his own
Like an Englishman there and then,
And the three that were nearest him followed with
force.
Wedged themselves in between horso and horse.
Fought for their lives In the narrow gap they had
made,
Four amtd thoisands ; and up tho hill, up tha hill,
Galloped the gallant threo hundred, the Heavy
Brigade.
III.
Fell ltko a cannon-shot,
Burst like u thunderbolt,
Crashed ltko a hurricane,
Broke through the masj from telow,
Drove through tho midst of the foe,
Plunged up and down, to and fro,
Hode, flashing blow upon blow,
Brave Innlskllllngs and Oreys,
Whirling their Babres In circles of light.
And some of us, all In a maze,
Who were held for a wbllo from tho fight
And wero only standing at gan
When tho dark, mulll:d ltusslan crowd
Folded Its wings from tha left and tho light
And rolled them around like a cloud
Oh 1 mad for tho chargo and tho battle word we,
When our own good red coats sank from sight,
Like drops of blood In a dark gray sea ;
And we turned to each other, muttering all dis
mayed: "Lost are tho gallant Utreo Hundred, tho lloavy
Brigade 1"
IV.
But they rode like Victors and Louis,
Through the fore.-ts nt lances and swords ; i
In tho heart of tho Russian hordes, v
Thoy rode, or they stood at bay;
Struck with tho sword-hand and Blew ;
Down with tho bridle-hand drew
Tho too from tho saddle, and tirew
Under foot tdicro lu tho fray ;
Raged like storm, or stood llko a rock
In the wave of a stormy day;
Till suddenly, shock upon shock.
Staggered the mass from without ;
For our men galloped up with a cheer and a shout,
And tho Itusslans surged and wavered and reeled
Dp the hill, up tho hl:l, up the hill, out of tho
field,
Over tho brow and away.
V. v - ,
Glory to each and to all, and tho chaise, that tcey
madel
Glory to all tho Throj Hundred, the Heay
Brigade.

"A splendid type of the Amcricnn law
yer; u noble example for young men to
emulate." This wns the remark
of a geu-
tlemnii who linil traveled fur to hear the
hpeethes of the jury which rendered the
first verdict ngaiust :i Mollie Magulre for
murder. And us he spoke he looked nt
I'ritnklln 11. (iowen, who stood in the
crowded court room at I'ottsville facing the
jury which was to decide the fate of the
man whose obedience to the commands of
in oatli-uound society inaile mm n-rt'il-handed
murderer, denied him absolution in
the church, und struck down the heads of
two families. It was a mi'morttble day
in the anthracite coal region. Tor many
years millions of rapltal and thousands of
honot, laboring men had been terrorized by
the same secret foe. Propel ly was not
worth the price of the premium paid to in
sure it. Xo ninn'H life was safe, not even
that of the "butty" who worked at the
breast with miners who hud orders to kill
and make a clean job of it. The deliverance
hud come, and Mr. (iowen announced It
with drniiritlc effect In these words:
The time litiw gone by when the mur
derer, the Incendiary, and the assassin can
go home reeking fiom the commission of
crimes, contldent In the laet that lie can ap
pear before a jury and have au alibi proved
for him to allow liim to escape punishment.

Airy, a citizen of Uerinan extraction, who
lived on a farm hi: inherited from his
father, nnd which Is still owned by thu
(lowcn family. Mr. Miller was n Presby.
terlan, and contributed largely to thu
erection of the First Presbyterian church of
Ucrmantowii. James Uowen'st ancestors In
Ireland were methodists, but, like most Meth
odists in those days, belonged to thu llstab

Uowen was u regular attendant at and a pro

to St. Luke's chinch, In Ocrmantowu, ui.der

IIH KAItt.Y I.IFK.
Franklin 11. Oowen was born nt Mt. Airy
on the Mb of February, 1830. With his
brother, James (lowcn, the well-known
eminent lawyer und faithful friend, he re
ceived his curly education lu Jit. Airy,
lie was hardly old enough to travel alone
when he was sent to thu Catholic Institu
tion at F.inmetsburg Md., where he receiv
ed the foundations of a splendid eiliir.ition,
and he finished his school days nt the well
known Moravian Institution at I.ltltz, Lan
caster county, ltefore he became of age
he commenced to cam Ids own living as a
clerk in Htnngardei's store at I.anea-tcr.
Subsequently, nnd when scarcely twenty
one years of age, lie had charge of a fur
mice at Shamokln, Pa, which he left in 18.T7,
to engage in the coal mining business lu Mt.
I.alTey, Schuylkill county. It was while
thus engaged that Mr. Oowen acquainted
himself with the vast resources of the an
thrucite coal field", and the first Ideas of the
great mineral wealth of Schuylkill county,
and its relations to the Heading Hallrond
Company, were gathered while struggling ns
a member of the firm of Turner fc Uowen to
earn a livelihood. The Unit failed In busi
ness, and Mr. Uowen assumed a load of In
debtedness, an obligation which he honestly
discharged later in life to the very cent. His
father watched the progress of his favorite
son with many misgivings. To engage in
coal mining twenty-four years ago was re
garded with the same fciirs ami doubts as a
venture lu thu unknown Uunnison country
is to-day, and this sire of u hopeful son was
not well pleased with young Frank until he
entered as a student in a Poltsvillu law ofllce,
and applied himself to the study of the
law. On thu 31st day of May, 1S00,
thu name of Franklin 11. Oowen was
registered as a member of the Schuyl
kill County ; liar, and before he was
three years older he had been elected Dis
trict Attorney, served two years anil resign
ed, the latter act being necessitated by the
accumulation of a great practice, thu emolu
ments of wlileli would have restrained any.
body else from relinquishing thu olllce. Hut
Mr. Gowen never practiced for fees alone; no
more did he accept the Presidency of the
Philadelphia aud Heading Hailro.td Com.
pnny for the sake of the salary. A man who
pays other people's debts as lie did when he
assumed the indebtedness of Turner & Uow
en; one who enters a light for humanity's
sake as he did when lie enlisted Allan Pink
eiton against the murderous gang which ter-
loried the coal region, and kept McParland
at work ferreting out crime, at great personal
cost, will never be accused for working sole
ly for money. So that when the Heading
Hailroad Company sought and employed
him as counsel, while It still had eminent
counsel in the same locality, on pay and no
work, he accepted the position, and resigned
n prominent public ofllcu and devoted his
whole time and all his talent to a single
client. lie could have commanded In that
year a sihiry of iJ50,000 from the best rail
road in the United States, and gone out of
the State, but he Is a Pennsylvania!! und he
preferred to remain at home and take his
chances with home institutions.
A IIAll llOAIl PliKslUGNr.
The legal business of thu Philadelphia and
Heading Hailroad Company became heavy
In proportion as the trallle of the road In
creased, and the company a-.ked Mr. Uowen
to lease Ids mountain home and take up Ids
residence In tills city. He was so successful
as a lawyer for thu company, that Charles K.
Smith, the companj'.s president, conceived
the Idea that he was thu proper pcison to
succeed to the olllce. .Mr. Smith found that
the company's alfairs overreached his own
ability to grapple with them, and of all the
many good men In the company's Fcrvlcu
and among the stockholders he could Und no
one who could till the bill as well as Franklin
H. Gowcn. Mr. Smith rvas a firm believer In
-Mr, Gowen's theory that the company should
fortify itself against the possible encroach
ment of rural lines, ami was the llrst man to
indorse the plans proposed by Mr. Uowen as
a condition precedent to his acceptance of
the olllce of president of the Philadelphia
and Heading railroad. Accordingly, thirteen
years ago, .Mr. Smitli announced his inten
tion of retiring from active service, and mini-
hinted Mr. Oowen for the succession. -Mr,
Uowen was duly elected, and has been the
olllclal head of thu company ever since,
being annually re-elected at every election,
except lu 1881, when opposition to his plans
for the lellef of thu company brought forth
opposition, aud created au interregnum with
Frank S, Dond at the head. .Mr. Uowen's
policy, when, in 1800, ho accepted the great
trust of President of the second railroad in
Pennsylvania, was that thu company should
own the coal and iron on thu lands in the lo
calities from which tlio railroad company
drew its revenue. lie, accordingly, secured
a charter for a coal and iron company, and
went into active business as a miner and
shipper of coal, In such capacity liu revolu-
lionized the coal trade, mid became nmstcr
of the situation, making ids company the
leading operator, miner and shipper, and
virtually dictator of the mining industry of
Pennsylvania.

A $1,500,000 Diamond Found.
From all accounts, the wonderful lCoh-1-noor,
or "Mountain of Ught," the property
of her llrlttanlo .Majesty, Is eclipsed by a rc.
ccntly discovered diamond found in South
Africa, and now in possession of Mr. Portcr
Hhodes, who is, wu believe the fortunate
dlscoveier -of the gem. Thu weight of the
iiewly.fnuud stone is 150 carats.
It Is uncut, but from Its peculiarly favor,
able shape It Is not expected to lose more
than 10 carats during the process. The dia
mond Is as big as a very large walnut, und
is described as like "a hailstone lu sunlight,
of a bewitching transparency, and brilll.in t
whiteness no other precious metal can vie
with." Most Cape diamonds are of an inferior
yellowish tinge, which detracts from thu val
ue of the stones ; but this specimen Is not
only the largest ever discovered, but of a
purity unsurpassed by any of Its compeers.
We understand that the stone was recently
shown lo the Prince of Wales at .Marlbor
ough House, and that his best diamonds
when placed beside the Portcr-llhodes stone
were seen to be off-color." Offers for his
property How in upon the lucky owner fiom
all parts of Kuropc. The first offer received
was i'50,000 ; the last made was 100,000.
The owner's banks, we hear, are willing to
advance 00,000 against the security. The
stone will not, it is thought, change hands
under 200,000, which Is just 50,000 more
than the famous Koh-l-noor is valued at.
Mr. Portcr-Hhodes asks the trilling sum of
1100,000, or i?l,5t)0,000, for his property, and
docs not seem in a hurry to dispose of it. It
is rumored that a ltus-dan Prince is in treaty
for the jewel.
A Trial of Endurance.
'.My dear,' queried Mr. Spoopendykc, 'did
you put those oysters on the cellar lloor with
the round shells down, as I told you ':'
'I did most of 'em,' replied Mrs. Spoopen
dykc. 'Some of 'cm wouldn't stay that way.
They turned right over.'
'Must have been extraordinary intelligent
oysters ' muttered Mr. Spoopenkyke.cycing
her with suspicion. 'Didn't any of 'em stand
iij) on end und ask for tin morning paper,
did they?'
Tou know what I mean,' llutterni .Mrs.
Spoopendykc. They tipped over sideways,
and so I laid them on the Hat shell.'
'That's right,' grunted Mr. Spoopendykc.
'You want lo give an oyster his own way, or
you'll hurt his feelings. Suppose you bring
us some of those gifted oysters and an oyster
knife, nnd we'll eat 'cm.'
Mrs. Spoopendyku hurried away and pat
tered back with the feast duly set out on a
tea waiter, which she placed before Mr.
Spoopendykc with a flourish.
'Now,' said she, drawing up her sewing,
chair, and resting her elbows on her knees
nnd her chin on her hands, 'when you get all
you want you may open mu some.'
.Mr. Spoopendyku whirled the knife around
Ids head and brought it down with a shaip
crack. Then hu clipped away at thu end for
a moment, and jabbed at what he supposed
was the opening. The knife slipped and
plowed the balk off his thumb.
'Won't come open, will yur' hu snorted
fetching it another lick, and jabbing away
iguin. 'Haven't completed your census ot
who's out here working nt ve, have ye?' and
he brought It another whack. --'P'raps ve
think I haven't fully made up mv mind to

point of the knife at it, knocking the skin off
Ids knuckle.
That isn't the .-.-ay to open an oyster', sug-
jested .Mrs. Spoopendykc.
'Look here,' roared Mr. Spoopendvke.turii.
ing fiercely on his wife, 'have you got any
private understanding with tills oyster? Has
the oyster confided in you the particular way
in which he wants to be opened?'
No-o!' stammered .Mrs. Spoopcudvke.
'Only 1 thought -'
Tills is no time lor thought !' shouted Mr.
Spoopendykc, banging away at the edge of
the shell. 'This is the moment for battle.aud
if I've happened to catch this oyster during
olllce hours, he's going to enter into relations
wllli the undersigned. Come out, will ye?'
he yelled, as his knife Hew mi Ids sleeve.
.Maybe you' dont recognize the voice of
Spoopendykc. Come out, ye dod gassed
coward, before y make an enemy of me for

bundle of the knife, anil spattered mud like a
dredging machine.

hovering over her husband in great pertur
bation. Don't want any hammer!' howled Mr.
Spoopendykc, slamming around with his

Open your measly premises !' raved Mr.
Spoopeiidykc, stabbing at the oyster vindict
ively, and slicing ids shirt sleeve clear to
the elbow. 'Cuinu forth and eniov thu
society of Spoopendykc!' and the worthy
gentleman foamed at the mouth as hu sunk
back in ids chair ami contemplated his
stubborn foe with glaring eyes.
'I'll tell you what to do !' exclaimed .Mrs.
Spoopendyku , radiant with profound Idea.
'Crack mm in the door.'
'That's the scheme! grinned Mr. Spoopcu.

know the domestic habits of shell-fish.
Loose your hold!' squealed Mr. Spoopcu
dyke, returning to the charge, nnd fetching
the blalve a prodigious wliuck. 'Come out
and let me introduce you to my wife;' and
Spoopendyku laid the oyster on thu arm of

Spoopendykc, having rammed thu knife Into

shattered, mid danced around thu room
wriggling with wrath nnd agony.
'Never mind the oysters, dear,' cried .Airs.
Spoopendykc, following him around and
trying lo disengage his wounded hand from

'Who's minding Yin ?' tonred Mr. Spoop.

'Upon my word you've opened him,' gig
gled Mrs. Spoopendykc, picking the
smashed bivalve between the tips of her
thumb and forefinger.
'Won't have him 1' sniffed .Mr Bpoopen
dyke, eyeing thu broken shell and tiring his
defeated enemy Into the grate. 'If I can't

'Yes, dear,'
And another time you want any oysters,
you sit around In the cellar, and when they

'Yes, dear.'
And Mrs. Spoopendykc took the bivalves
