Senator Foster, Of Connecticut, is about

II reports are correct, this is not the
first time Mr.. Foster has been wounded
by the little god. When we lived in Con.
necicut we recollect hearing a story
which ran in this wise (: During his
period Of law study in the southeastern
portion Of the State, he became acquainted
with young lady Of prepossessiug ap.
pearance, and more than ordinary ac-
complishments, a daughter Of parents Of
the highest responsibility, and moving 10
the most fashionable circles Of the vicinity.
! With her he entered one Of his earliest
pleas and commenced his first suit
That he was successful is evident from
the fact that shortly after bis admission
to the bar, and having obtained a re-
spectacle position and business connec.
tion. arrangements were made for eonsum-
mating the marriage, and all went on hsr-
moniously until short time before the
appointed day. During his visit one
evening, he remarked that he believed all
the necessary arrangements for their wed.

Now, La Fsyette was always a good
boy, and was taught 10 honor bis father
and mother, which early became to him

ceived from them words Of love and en-
couragemeut, which had done for him
without money for they were poor, Whist
money could never have done, and
through all his struggles and privatiuns
10 obtain an education and position in
life. he had been stimulated and sup
ported by the thought Of the pleasure it
would give them, and he looked forward
to the day when, with his chosen one, he
should meet them beneath their own
humble roof, and receive again their
blessing. to be one Of the happiest be
, should ever experience. For few mo-
ments the lady kept silence. She then
said "Mr. Foster. you know l have
been educated with different ideas from
yours, and have always associated with
people whose manners and style Of living
are different from those Of your parents.
and although shall make no objection
to your proposed visit, wish you to un.

than TO hear these words from her lips

seemingly bewildered. Then taking his

The Pet Of the Glass.

Lucy is liule girl Of nine years, very
kind and gentle, who almost MS soon MS
she entered school, stood first in the love
Of her classmates, and all without effort
on her part, or consciousness OF her high
place. When Lucy reci,es all listen. and
when she answers correctly, every eye
glows with pleasure, but when she fails,
every coun;enance is d;mmed, rs though
a pleasure had faded out Of the heart.
And how ~ it that this little girl can
arouse such unselish feelings, and bring
iulo action such lovely qualities in the
minds Of all her little companions? She
is so very quiet. that when all are grouped
together in merry play. e stranger

gay prattlers should fall or get hurt, he
would then see this gentle little one step

that she needs no words 10 make it known,
and in few moments when the pain is
over, the cry hushed. the tears dried, and

danger that threatened the life Of her dar

some one is sure 10 say, "Oh please lei

Suca Is LIFE,--So lately dead; so soon

We flourish for while. Men take us by

buried. The sun does not stop for our
funeral; everything goes on as usual; we
are not missed In the streets; men laugh
at new jokes; one or two hearts feel the

GRACE AND ELEoANCE.-Grace Is, in a
great measure, a natural gift; elegance i'm
plies cultivation, or something Of more arti.

may be graceful; but an elegant woman
must bo accomplished and we'll trained. II
Is the same with things as with persons; VIC
talk OF a graceful tree, but of an elegant
house or othor building Animate may be
graceful, but they cannot be elegant. The
movements of kitten or young fawu are
full OF graoo; but to call thom elegant ami
mails would be absurd. Lastly, elegant may
be applied to mental qualifications. whict
graceful never can. Elegance must always
imply something that is made or inventeC

BRANCH AND GROW.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. Last night the diff
ficulty between Messrs. Grow and Branch
was clothed in so much mystery, that it was
utterly impossible TO arrive at the facts. They
are substantially as follows:
About II O'Clock on Friday, Mr. Grow re-
ceiyed a note from Mr.. Branch by the hands
OF Gov. Winslow of North Carolina. 1t was
dated Dec. 20, and requested Mr.. Grow to in
form him Mr. Branch) where a communica-
ton in writing would reach him outside of the
District of Columbia. Mr.. Grow, on consulta-
ton with his friends, Ton whose judgement he
slid he would rely no matter what their decis-
ion might BEL replied to his note at I o'clock
in the evening. In this reply to Mr. Branch,
he justified the language he had used in plain
Saxon, stated that the duelling code being
violation OF the principles of Christianity, and
a crime under the laws of his own State and
by the laws of Congress, of which both he and
MIR. Branch were members, he could not recog-
nize it. But he would defend his personal
rights, and the rights of freedom in debate.
under the constitution, whenever assailed.
This note was handed to Hon. Reuben e.
Fenton, at about o'clock, TO be delivered to
Mr.. Branch.
Two hours after this reply was sent, friend
OF Mr.. Grow received a note through demo-
cratic source stating that the police had OBJ
~ iioi ii'''sioh Una. theie was to DC NOR
tai combat, and were in search for the princ
pas MOI wishing to evade any responsibility
that might follow, Mr.. Grow evaded the 30
lice. Between ten and twelve o'clock last
night, Mr.. Branch was arrested and required
70 give bonds IN s5OO0 to keep the peace. Mr..
Grow was not arrested until to-day at twelve
CLOCK, when he was required to give bonds
In the same amount, although he had formally
declined the invitation to disturb the peace.
No evidence was adduced before the justice,
to show that Mr. Grow had violated the peace.
