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

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.

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,

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

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,

turning towards his suite, "you see my benefactress,

general's arrival she set out.
