Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hussar I will reply to you, sir, said he, in his slightly-bro ken English, by reminding you of a passage in the Life of Frederic the Great. There was a poor Curate; some. Where near Potsdam, who, after many years' faithful ser vice in the diocese, applied to the Bishop for a living. The Bishop assured him that he was alive to his merits, and that he might depend upon being one day or another provided for. Encouraged by this assurance, the Curate kept quiet, till he ascertained that a certain living was vacant; upon which he repaired again to the Bishop, and entreated that he might be inducted to it.
