SENATOR FosTER ABOUT TO BE MARRIED
Senator Foster, Of Connecticut, is about to
get married. Life Illustrated suys:
II reports are correct this is not the first
time Mr. Foster has been wounded by the
little god. When we lived in Connecticut we
recollect hearing a story that runs 10 this
wise During his period of law study in the
southeastern portion OF the State, he became
acquainted with lady of prepossessing up

ments, q daughter Of parents Of the highest
respectabilty, and moving in the most fash.
ionable circles o: the vicinity. With her he
entered one Of his earliest pleas, and com.
menced his first suit. That be was successful
is evident from the fact that, shortly after bis
admission to the bar, aud having obtained an
honorable position and business connection,
arrangements for consummatiug the marriage
were made; and all went on harmonously
until shortly before the appointed day. During
his visit one evening, he remarked that be
believed oil necessary arrangements for the
wedding were made, and the route for their
bridal tour decided. lie added "On our
return we shall be obliged to devote a shor,
time to our friends here, after which, if you
please, we will pay visit to my old father
aud mother, and spend a few days with them.
Now La Fayette was always good boy, anG
