ally tailor. On finishing his apprentice
ship he had the ambition to see Berlin. AS
he was obliged to pass the Elbe in a boat,
and had no money to pay the expense, the
passage was refused him. Stung with this
aifront, he disdained trade that so mar
rowed his circumstances, and, throwing his
wallet into the river, he enlisted for SOL
dier. In that capacity he made rapid ad-
vances; he soon gained the esteem Of his
comrades, nfterward OF his officers, and last
ly Ct the Elector, his master. That grea
Prince, who loved war, who had made him
self a proficient in that science, and who
was compelled to study it, rapidly advanc-
ed man, who to great military knowledge
added all the virtues of citizen. Durhing
was, after some time, promoted to the rank
Of Field Marshal, and in that capacity came
up to every idea that could be formed of
man, who, from common soldier, rose by
his merit to be q General. A fortune 80
extraordinary excited the jealousy of many
who had not those abilities 10 recommend
them to notice. Some even went so far as
to say, that though Dorling was great
man, he had not lost the air of his original
profession. "Yes," replied he, one day, 10
