To ALL, particularly invalids, spring is a trying
season. Indications Of sickness should at once
be attended to- Fatal diseases may be caused by
allowing the bowels to become constipated, and the
system to remain in a disordered condition, until
the disorder has time to develop itself. An ounce
Of prevention is worth pound Of cure, is an old
and true saying. Therefore, we advise all who are
troubled with the complaints now very prevalent
headache, indigestion, disorlered liver, want of ap
petite, nausea, feverish skin, to take, without
delay, Schenc<'s Mandrake FILLS. We know of no
remedy so harmless and decisive in its action 1t at
strikes at the root Of the disease and produces
a healthy tone to the system. People never need
suffer from any disease arising from disordered
condition Of the liver if they would take this excel
lent medicine when they feel the first indications of
the malady. Families leaving home for the sum
mermonths should take three OF four boxes Of these
pills with them. They have an almost instantaneous
effect. They will relieve the patient Of headachein
enc OF two hours, aud viii rapidly cleanse the liver
Of surrounding bile, and will efeetually prevent
bilious attack. They are sold by all druggists.

"United Italy" Not All as Nice
as 1t Sounds.

From Augustus J. c. Hare's New Book on Italy
The abolition Of the religious institu-
lions has been grievUUsly felt throughout
the county, and there are few even of
the friends of Italian unity who have
not had personal reason to experience its
injustice. When "Days near Rome"
appeared, one of the reviews regretted
that its author should not rejoice that
Italians were no longer called upon
Ito support swarms of idleTs in vest
ments and hOrdes of sturdy beggars in
rags" This is exactly what Italians
with regard to the old ecclesiastical in
situations, were not called upon to do.
The converts and monasteries we're richly
endowed; they had no need of being
supported. 1t was, on the contrary,
rather they who supported the needy,
the sick, the helpless and the blind
among the people, who received their
daily dole of bread and soup from the
convent charities. When the marriage
portions of the nuns were stolen by the
government, there was scarcely any fam
lily of the upper classes throughout CEN
trail Italy who did not suffer; for almost
all had sister, aunt or cousin Gin re-
llglOn upon whom a portion of G1 900,
$4,000, or 100000, had been bestowed,
their hands, her fortune confiscated, and
with an irregular paid pension of a few
pence a day, quite insufficient for the
most miserable subsistence. The En-
glish press is slow to see the injustice of
these things when it affects other nations.
1t is strange that it should not see it as
affecting Englishmen, as in the case of
the large tract of land which was pur-
chased by the Rev. E. Douglass, upon
the Equiline, and which was confscated
by the government on the plea that it
had been used for religious purposes.
Those who declaim so loudly upon the
advantages of Italian unity are often I'M
aware of the extreme difference which
exists between the people and the lam
guage in the north and south of Italy
that a Venetian would not in the least
be able to understand a Neapolitan, and
vice versa. The difference often comes
out when the absurd red-tapeism of the
government is put into action. For in
stance, when the heat makes it impOssi-
bic for the troops in Naples and Palermo
to support their winter clothing, the sol
diers shivering on the icy streets OF
Parma and Piacena are put into brown
holland, because throughout United
Italy" the same order must take effect
