AN ANECDOTE OF' NAPOLEON A young man was passing with his regiment through Lyons, in 17—, where be fell sick, and was obliged to remain at an hotel. He was very ill supplied with money, and his purse was easily exhausted by the es. pence his malady occasioned him; the hostess, un. touched by his destitute situation, had him carried in. to a granery, where all the furniture she allowed him was a palliasse and a chair, and all the sustenance 11 little barley -water; refusing to call in the aid of a Op sician, sician, to avoid th responsibility in which she epprs. hended such an additional charge might involve her. It happened that the first floor of this furnished hotel was occupied by two Genevese ladies, Madame and Mademoiselle Agiee, who had visited Lyons fur the benefit of change of air; they were. both advanced in years, Mademoiselle Agiee being nearly fifty. These two ladies were clever and well informed; but, accord. ing to the Genevese habit, they did injustice to their real merit by a pretension to something beyond it, and a pedantry completely national. The fate of the young soldier interested all the domestics of the hotel, and the particulars of his friendless condition reached the ear of Mademoiselle Agiee through her maid, who acquainted her at the same time with the cruelty of the landlady, who threatened to send him to the hospi. tal. The maid succeeded in awakening the sympa. thy of her mistress, who immediately sent for a php sician, informing and rm s. in thatgthehostess s that r she pleasure the wouldans s we icl: all e man should be removed without delay to a comforts. ble chamber. The humane Abigail, meanwhile, never quitted the chamber of the invalid whom sbe bed taken so happily under her protection. Weakened by his illness, which had been to aggra. vated by neglect, the young soldier was in a frightful state of delirium when the physician visited him, and during the process of changing his apartment, so that, when he recovered his senses be was greatly astonish. ed to find himself in a well-furnished chamber, and be. lieved himself dreaming. Near his bed was his faith. ful nurse, whom lee began to question, but who content. ed herself with replying that a:friend, who took an in. terest in him, bad given orders that he should be pro. perly attended. Days, and even weeks escaped thus, till at length the young soldier, recovering his strength insisted on being informed to whom he was indebted fur so many benefits. There was in the expression of his countenance, something that commanded respect, which perhaps even excited fear; the good woman na. med her mistress, and, with all possible delicacy, rela. ted to him the miserable circumstances in which she had found him. He entreated to see Mademoiselle A. glee, that he might lighten his heart of some of its Brat. itude; he was not yet able to rise, nor was he permitted to reed; but be was, nevertheless, sufficiently reinstated to feel the weight and weariness of en idle life. Mademoiselle Agiee consented to the demand of the voung soldier, and paid him her first visit; she remain. young with him only a few moments, but promised to re. turn and bring him books, desiring him to make his choice, and offering to read for him till he should been longer forbidden to occupy himself. He accepted, he, proposal with joy, and selected the "Life of Tu. rene, ' and a book on geometry. Every day Made. moiselle Agiee passed some hours with the con. velsecent soldier, who listened eagerly as she read, often interrupting her to make observations, which were always just, and sometimes very striking. He did not seem easily inclined to confidence, and it was not till some time bad elapsed. that one day, as if led un by a military ardor beyond his power to restrain , he began to speak of his projects to Mademoiselle Agiee; she smiled as she listened to him; "In truth," said she," I believe we shall one of these days see you a colonel." "Colonel!" replied be in a tone of indig, nation, "I shall be a general—and perhaps bug he interrupted himself, as if alarmed at what he was about to say, and perhaps even internally rebuking himself for what be had said. "Until now," said Mademoiselle Agiee, "I have never askedyou a single question, either with regard to your country or family. By your accent, I conceive you to be a foreigner, els though you belong to a French regiment." "I am a Corsican, and my name is Napoleon." The young man was Bonaparte. .Mademoiselle Agiee, every day became more end inure interested in Napoleon; and when he was entire. ly recovered, she equipped him and supplied him with the money necessary to enable him to rejoin his regi. ment. On taking leave of his benefactress, the young man was much effected. "Believe me," said he, "I shall never forget what you have done for reel You will hear of me!" He departed, and Mademoiselle, with her mother, returned to Geneva. Very soon the name of Napoleon became celebrated; and Madam: Agiee, in reading the Gazette, exulted in the sucesses of her protege, who, meanwhile, seemed to have entirely forgotten her. Years passed thus away, when, semetime before the battle of Marengo, Bona. parte passed through Nyon, a little town of the Caw. ton de Vaud, twelve miles from Geneva, on his way into Italy, he could only stop a few hours;—he sent ae aid-de-camp to Geneva, with orders to enquire for e lady, named Agiee, very ugly, and old, and to. bring her to him; such were his directions. In Geneva, as in all small towns, every body is known, and the aid. de-camp succeeded in finding Mademoiselle Agiee.— She was become nearly blind, and very seldom quit. ted her own house, but the name of her hero seemed to inspire her with new strength, and she hesitated nOi to follow his messenger. Bonaparte was impatient, and came to meet his friend on horseback, attended by his staff; as bar as Versois; at soon as be perceived her carriage, he spurred on to receive her, and the feelings of Mad. emoiselle Agiee on this rencountre, may better be Ima. gibed than expressed. "Gentlemen," said Bonaparte, turning towards his suite, "you see my benefactress, she to whom I am indebted for my life ; I was desti. tute of every thing, when she succored me. I an happy and proud to be obliged to her, and shall never forget it." Mademsoielle Agiee passed two bouts at Nyon wilt Bonaparte, at the hotel of the Croix Blanch. where he detailed to her all his plans, and on taking leave of her. repeated the same words he had uttered at Lyons, "You will hear Of me." From diet hour until the epoch of his coronation, sbe received from him no token of his existence ; but fifteen days before the coronation, General Hul lin was announced to Mad. emoiselle Agiee. He desired her vi prepare to sic, company him, as Bonaparte was resolved that t h e should witness his glory; he was furnished with the strictest and most minute orders. Mademoiselle Agiee was permitted to carry nothing with her, beyond what was merely indispensible during the journey: and i 4 spite of her age and her infirmities, the day after the general's arrival she set out. ' On arriving at Paris, she alighted at a house in the Place de Carousal, opposite the palace of Tuileries; theta she found domestics in the livery of Bonapartts, and, in short, a completely furnished mansion; a welt stocked wardrobe bad been prepared for her.

He continued to preserve to, wards Mademoiselle Agiee the most marked regard, often consulting her even on the most important affair, On the fall of Bonaparte, Mademoiselle Agiee testate house and the advantages he had conferred upon her; but I have reason to believe, that her pension was al. wafts regularly paid by the agents of Napoleon, till her death, which happened, I believe, in 1 622.
