The poodle they called Felix, and the young girl was christened by the title of La Fillc du Regiment." By turns she was carried upon the backs of the sol diers; who were delighted with the little creature, mid she accompanied them to Holland. Upon several oc-! casious she : was in theniidst of the battles in which the regiment was en gaged, yet the roaring of the cannon did not intimidate her; but her heart was ready to break when, in a skir mish that took place on the banks of the Rhine, her favourite and faithful attendant, Felix, was wounded by a gun-shot, and died in her arras. The regiment, after three years severe ser vice, were ordered into garrison at Mon5. Their protegee was now six years of age; when, by the advice of the colonel and "officers, they deter mined on placing her in a respecta ble boarding-school to receive her edu cation; and the sum of four thousand four hundred francs was collected in the regiment and delivered (to the Mayor of the town, who was appoin ted her guardian. Having . received sudden orders to march to some, dis tant place, nearly all the men of the regiment came to the school where their beloved child was dwelling, ten derly embraced and bid her farewell for ever, as in the course - of a few I . ! 1 i l ' ii . I years probably not-an individual of the regiment remained alive they perished in those sanguinary contests that took placc'in Italy. In 1808 1 had an opportunity of seeing the young girl atTournay, whither she had been removed by the permission ol the Mayor of Mons, who had obtain ed for her the situation of governess in the family of Count de L She was beautiful, of extremely amiable dispo sition, and highly accomplished. I have heard -her say that the recollec tions of the time she spent in the re giment were quite fresh and fraught with pleasing association; she had not even forgotten the names of tjiese per sons who were more particularly kind to her, and she expressed herself with the deepest feelings of gratitude for the educattdn she had received, by their bounty. She often made inqui ries of the. officers,: who were, continu ally arriving from the scene ol war- fare in JiaiV. i"-t itlth nnv of "her dear Fortieth;' alas! they had all disappeared from the oartii. Her birth continued involved in mystery, and I never heard that she was able to ascertain who her unfor fnto nnrents had been.

Upon the marble-slab that covers her tomb is inscribed -Cv ztj la la Raronne De. Son rpoux la vit nattrt ct mburir." Her husband saw 4ier born and diej DR. CHANMNG. The following sketch of the person al appearance and oratory of this dis tinguished individual, is copied from the American Monthly Magaiine. Thc.rauk which this celebrated Di vine lias lately taken as an Essayist, and the Interest excited in "his wri tings abroad, bars, mad him a con spicuous object , of curiosity. He is probably the greatest intellect among us, and as such, wc have, thought a slight" sketch of his person and man ner, though given with no advantages but those of a general observer, might not be uhintcresting to our readers. Dr. Chaiining's appearance ont of the pulpit is not prepossessing. He is below the: middle stature, and of the slightest posib e frame. Constant illness of late years has reduced even his natural proportions, and when seen in - the street, wrapped with a shrinking closeness from the air, and pursuing his way with tbc irresolute step and the subdued countenance of an invalid, it is extremely difficult to reconcile his appearance with the pro digious energy of his writings. ' In the pulpit' he is. another man. The cloud of anxiety passes from his face as he rises. The contracted expres sion ordinarily visible about his mouth gies place to a dilated and serene calmness.- His fine eye expands, and brightens, and the whole character of his face is one of the most pure and elevated humanity. A hearer who saw, him for the first time there, if in deed he remembered any thing but the eloquent beauty of his thoughts would go away impressed with his no- I,. .' i i Die dignity una air oi caim power in his look and action. His face itself is diminutive, smaller even than a child's, but there is great breadth at the temples, and his forehead, over which he wears his hair long and care lessly, s of the finest form, and apti tude. On the whole, we. think the common impression after seeing Dr. Channing would be that of a Mind, a mere Intellect, wrapped in the slight est drapery of flesh that will confine it a coil of mortality so loosely worn, that, whenever its errand was com plete, the inhabiting spirit would re lease itself by the simplest heaven ward volition. Dr. Channing's delivery is not at all oratorical or passionate It may Irave been so in the earlier days of his minis- try,for he is naturally of a kindling icen- or compound, pursue a course most thusiastic tempermaraentkit is a source , effectually calculated to destroy its of natural wonder to those who hear j suppleness, transparency antl smootl him,aterhavingread his fervent compo-1 nciSf and to cover it with' unseemly sitionthathe!should yield so little to the blotches.' Frequent bafhinj is rccom- sway of feeling. His manner is ear - nest and absorbed, but, unless excited byi a favorite or opposed opinion, -I. .v.- cmeA rtnr'rrfortlv- iinimnasioned. l ou may l f - - j g III not doubt lor a momem " " I breathing on his ! ilp, but Be o you under the rSn ard oower which is too Ll LA Li I Jl 111' j-w . v' f , . f .

The vigorous beauty of his styleUtoo well known and admired, to be, more than alluded to; but a mere reader can have little idea of its effect when heart from the writer" own hps. His emphasis and cadence are vt ry peculiar. His tones sc ni the o ost simple effort of articulation, but he hat a way of lingering on what we can on ly express by calling it the crisis of a, sentence, and of giing a. depth and and richness to the forcible . word, which yielded an exquisite satisfaction to the ear, not easilv described. Y)U sit and listen, as it might be, to rhuic. The sense isf for the. time, cnptiet and, if the melody in which it comes clothed does not wholly disguise the sentiment, it at least gives it a win ning persuasion, most dangerous to . the charmed judgment of the hearer It can scarcely be conceived how well all this harmonites with the char acterjof a preacher's mind, and hii mode f religious inculcation. Hit system is purely intellectual. Mistake of a Professor. V Professor, in Cambridge University, was one evening walking behind a' fashionable lady in a white gown, when the dress of females was not s,o short as it is now and being, as scholars sometimes ore, rather absent- minded he mistook the lady's train 'for his own white pocket handkerchief, which fancying lie' bad dropr lj he picked it tip and put it into his pocket. The lady contained onward, and the Professor behind her; bin at tvt r -.ep he felt a strange jerking and pulling i.tf one side of his coat; but not at all : ? pecting the cause, hr went on for miijc rods along in the rear of hi for in itrh bor.
