THE Santon Bazarlu, during the whole Ramazan, took no repaft till after fun-fet, and then allowed himfelf only a fingle raifin.

THE favourite of a Sultan threw a flone

at a poor dervife who had requested an alms. The infulted Santon dared not to complain, but carefully fearched for and preferved the pebble, promifing himself he fhould find an opportunity, fooner or later, to throw it in his turn at this imperious and pitilefs wretch. Some time after, he was told the favourite was difgraced, and by order of the Sultan led through the ftreets on a camel, expofed to the infults of the popu lace. On hearing this, the dervife ran to reflection, caft it into a well. "I now fetch his pebble; but, after a moment's perceive," faid he," that we ought never ful, for then it is imprudent; nor when he to feek revenge when our enemy is poweris involved in calamity, for then it is mean and cruel."
