IT is safe 10 say, that, in Delaware
not one man ia twenty-five knows the
laws under which he lives, and wrich
he is expected to respect. How can
they know? The legislature makes
no provision for their information,
save by few pamphlets which are
but sparsely circulated, and we believe
that the average legislator is honestly
afraid to have his constituents become
familiar with the laws of the st tie.
The cost of publishing the acts Of the
General Assembly, in ,he various pa
pers of the Stale would be but small
sum. 1t would be gladly received,
duiing the dali advertising season, at
about the cost of composition, and the
people at that season of the year gem
orally would have the time and incli-
nation TO carefully read them; but
this plan appears as a useless waste OF
public money to the parsimonious leg
islature. Such bill was before the
last Legislature, but it was promptly
killel in the House. The day is not
far in the future when the people will
demand this very thing of their law
makers.

IN WHICH wINDEMERE rs EVACUATED By THE
ENEMY-AND THE CURTAIN FALLS.
1t would be impossible for our pen to
picture the CONSERVATION Of two of the
inmates Of Windemere, when they opened
q newspaper received one morning, and
found marked, under the head of mar
riages, the following.
At BeHciHe Park, July 18th. by Rev.
Charles Jones, Thomas Albright, of Law
renee, to Miss Kate Dillon of Brookline,
(Windemere)'
The paper fell from the trembling hands
of Peter Dillon, and he looked up into the
white, startled face of Mrs. Markham
who stood near.
II thought she was deadw cried the
old man huskily.
The woman make no answer, but with
a CHASTITY face and slow tottering step left
the room.
She had not gone five minutes before the
door of the library was flung open, and
Walter Dillon rushed into the room.
We'll. father he exclaimed. lyon have
heard the news2"
"Yes," answered the old man mechan-
ically, 1--WE are ruined"
"Yes, ruinedr" returned the son, land
all through the Internal folly Of that ac-
cursed Markham
"Walter," cried the old man, spiinging
to his feet-"I will not listen to such words
that woman is my wifev'
"By Heavens. always thought so! That
is more Of your childish folly! What do
you intend doingr l.
II intend leaving this place at once and
forever. Her marriage has ended my
guardianship"
And with that Mr. Peter Dillon left the
room.
Two days after that when Thomas Ark
right and his wife. the beautiful Kate. ar
rived they found the house empty, all the
servants having been discharged. and
everything betokcning hurried depart
ure.
What became of her uncle and the wo-
man Markham. whom she now knew to be
his wife, they never learned, though some
months afterwards, information came to
them indirectly. that Walter Dillon, alias
"Phillip Blake" had met his death in a
fiightful railroad accident-and few
months later still, the happy Tom Ark
right read letter he had received from
;hc party principally interested. inform
ing them of the marriage Of Samuel Burr,
Esq, to Barbara Glendon-she would new
er assume the name of Blake--and that
Sam was going to Europe with his bride
and "Uncle Osborn" to spend the honey
moon.

depot.
Mrs. Markham, alias Mrs. Vickory
CRASHED her strong white teeth with rage,
as she reflected on the terrible discovery
OF Madge Holly-until that moment she
had been secure and might have defied
the world to find her as Mrs. Vickory;
now her soul was filed with apprehension,
and she vainly tried to see a way out of
the fearful labyrinth in which she had
suddenly become involved.
While thus thinking she arrived ut the
depot, and Diminishing the carriage, pur-
chased ticket and took her seat in the
cars-a few minutes later the steam whis-
tie sounded, and the long train went thun-
dering on its way to Boston.
When Madge heard the breakfast bell,
she rushed from her room fully dressed,
and engaging a carriage was soon rolling
over the road to Bellville Park.
When she arrived there she asked i'm
mediately for Mrs. Bascombe, who cordi-
ally welcomed her. To her she related
the discovery she had made, and when
this was done, she was admitted to the
chamber of Gertrude who welcomed her
with great delight.
Our heroine improved marvellously the
last lew DAYS, tne poison nau Deen df1ven
from her system, and all that she now re-
quired was nourishment and rest, when,
in a few days, she would be as well and
blooming. as ever.
Acting on the advice of Mrs. Bascombe
Madaline said nothing about her discov-
cry in relation to Mrs Vickory--she spent
a very pleasant hour with Gertrude and
then returned home, not forgetting, how
ever, to tell Miss Weldon that the prepa-
rations for her marriage with John San
born were already far advanced; so far
indeed that she had already left the mill

Mrs. Bascombe. the Doctor and Tom
neld a council together, as to what had
better be done regarding the woman Wick
DRY or Markham as they now styled her,
and here let me state that Mrs. Marion
related all that Gertrude had contided to
her, much TO The surprise Of Tom, and
his friend, the doctor, what that was the
patient reader will soon learn il he has
not already discovered.
II was finally concluded that nothing
should I've done in the matter of the poison
until Miss Weldon had thoroughly con-
valesced.
The house grew very pleasant after the
departure of the crime stained Markham
and all were overjoy,d at the factth the
awful cause # icrtrudc's strange illness
