Sultan Hassan, wishing to see the
world, and lay aside for time the
anxicties and cares of royalty, committed
the charge Of his kingdom to his favorite
minister, and taking with him large
amount OF treasure in money and jewels,
visited several foreign countries in
the character Of wealthy merchant.
Pleased with the tour, and becoming in
terested in the occupation he had as
sumed as disguise, he was absent mnch
longer than he ORIGINALLY intended, and
IN the course Of a few years greatly in
reased his already large stock of wealth.
Ills protracted absence, however, proved
temptation too strong for the virtue of
tn the viceroy, who, gradually forming for
himself party among the leading men
OF the country, at length communicated
e the common people the intelligence
that Sultan Hassan was no more, and
quietly seated himself on the vacant
throne. Sultan Hassan returning shortly

excite any surprise when he announced

OF his gains to the erection Of a spacious

the honor of the Sultan's presence at the
ceremony Of naming it. Anticipating
the qualification ofhearing his own name
bestowed upon it, the usurper accepted
the invitation, and at the appointed hour
the building was filed by HIM and his
most attached adhcrents. The ceremony
had duly proceeded to the time when
it became necessary to give the name.
The chief moolah turning to the supposed
merchant, inquired what should be its
name.
