MUTTON IN PARvo.--Perhaps the briefest
personal mem oirs ever written were the
"Memors of Count Rostopchin," written in
ten minutes. We subjoin few paragraphs,
each of which constitutes "chapter."
Ny BIRTH-On the 18th day of March.
l7G5, emerged from darkness into the light
of day. | was measured, was weighed, |
was baptized. WIS born without knowing
wherefore, and my parents thanked Heaven
without knowing for what.
Ny EDucATIoN.--Iw was taught all sorts of
things, and learned all sorts of languages.
By dint of impudence and quackery, some
times passed for a Savant My head has be-
come library of odd volumes, of which l
keep the key.
My SUFFERINGs.-I was tormented by
masters, by taors. who made tight dresse S
for me; by women; by ambition; by self-love
by useless regrets; and by remembrances.
MEMORABLE EPocHs.-At the age of 80 l
gave up dancing; at 40 my endeavors TO
please the fair sex; at so my regard Of public
opinion; at 60 the trouble Of thinking; and !
have now become true sage, or egotist-
which is the same thing.
RESPECTABLE PRINcIPLEs-I have never
meddled in any marriages or scandal. have
never recommended a cook or physician; and
consequently have never attempted the
life of any one.
My DIsLIKEs.-I had dislike to sots and
fops, and to intriguing women, who make a
game Of virtue; disgust for affectation; pity
for made up men and painted women; an
aversion to rats, liquors, metaphysics. and
rhubarb; and terror Of justice and wild
beasts.
ANALYSIS OF MY LIFE-I await death with
out fear and without impalience. My life has
been a bad melodrama on a grand Stage,
where have played the hero, the tyrant. the
lover, the noblemen. but never the valet.
Ny EPIrAPH-H lies, in hope,of repose,
an old deceased man, with a worn out spirit
and exhausted heart. and a used-up body.

"The brief and business-like announcement
by telegraph, that Fanny Forester is dead,
fell upon the ears of thousands like crash of
thunder The public had been apprised of
her illness, but few supposed that it was to
terminate thus early.

left no sign Her delicious poems and de-
| lightful sketches, SO sweet, SO earnest so full
OF love, and Heaven, these are left behind,
forming a precious consolation to her friends
and rich legacy to the world. The hand
that wrote so gracefully may be motionless in
the sepulcher, but what is written remains to
bless u.s.
"'Fanny Forrester's' career as an author
ess and missionary, is familiar to all. Those
who loved her here followed her TO her In

of her touching history, We only hope the
record of her life may be filed up and given
