“Oh the ea is ot very deap at

bauk.”
"TUan who reaps it?”
“No one. Ibis tirtd like the
town o{ and produoes notb-
you have a story to tell
me,”
diUW.tSrfc'oo ,<.'■
And, stteLeiiimt.uiyself oa my cloak
in a comfortable position, i listened.
*‘lt is now two or three huudred
years ago, said Stavoren was a hand
some town, stretcning far and wide
in the rear of that bank out of which
the long straws still rise. Thu rich

Proud of her wealth,- harsh towards
the poor, she had .only pue passion,
which was that “of 1 continually in
creasing her treasures, She had
ships that carried hyr produce to all
Carts of the globe, and which came
ack laden witn apices, ivory, and
gold. One uay this lady summoned
one of her captains and said to iiiya :
“Set sail, and tying mo back tba'i
which i3 the most precious In the
world.”
“The shipmaster, who was accus
tomed to receive detailed and pre
cise Gaiters, resi>etfully ioqalred
of Ste lady what she meant by the
most precious thing in the world.
But the lady bgu* him hold his
tongue, go toi tb, and carry out her
orders.
“The mariner felt himself in a state
of great embarrassment.
“He did not dare‘to question any
further, for he was well aware of his
mistress’ obstinate ang perverse dis
position ; so be set sail, not knowing
where he shoigd gf>, or what he
should bring back. After naving re
flected some time, however, when at
sea, he said to hiursell;
“'I will bringlier Some a load oT
the best wheat that grows in tbo
world. What can there be that is
more precious than that noble grain,
without which mankind cannot pros
per!’
“Thus saying, he sailed toward
Oantzig, where he shipped a load ot
thebest ooru, and then took his way
back to Stavoren.
“As he got near he felt nervous at
times as to the reception he should
meat with from the lady, but there
was no alternative. Wnen he pre
sented himself before her, hat in
hand, and not a she
seemed much surprised.
"What! back again already, Cap
tain? I thought you mrs On the’
.'oa§t of Africa, purchasing gold and
ivory. Have you by chance plunder
ed one of those rascally merchants
of Hamburg? Gome,; ®t us to the
harbor; I wish to^^fatracfgf) “HT
once.’
/•fi&e Captain fe.lt by wtiar had fall
en ft-orn herplhat she would HQ,t be
over pleased at what she would see,
so he ventured to observe;
“ ‘Mistress, I have brought yuu tho.
best corn that is possible to find in
the whole extent of the.earth.’
“‘Cora!’ she exclaimed.. ’Did'you
dare to bring me each staff?’
“ ‘I did not think that whioh gives
us our dailv bread could-be called
Stuff.’ * /* tT ><>
‘“’ldiot? 1 exclaimed the lady in a
passion, /I will teach ybn what im
portance I attach to your freight.
What side did your ship come in?
“ 'Fort, madam.’
“‘Well, then, I order yog at oqce
and forthwith to cast the whole of
your freight over the other side of
the ship. I shall follpw iinmedihtn
ly to see with fay own nay
orders hafe beak ptmetually carried
7“
“The mariner went forth much
troubled in his mind. He hesitated
to carry out an order which seemed
little better than a crime.”
“So he went and bade all the poor
people of the town, men, women and
children,, come down to the harbor,
Ufe.ship’s side.’’;
s ‘Too lady was not Tong in making
her appearance.”
“Have mrorders been carried out?
she demanded.”
“No soounr, had She made this In
quiry than spl the poor of the town
went down on their kuees, and beg
ged her to let them haVe the corn,
and not, to-tfifbw it into the sea.”
“But the lady’s heart was as stub
born as a toegf ehe would not listen
to their prayer*, but persevered in.
her oidfers tnat Tt should tie thrown
into the sea.”
"The captain became so Indignant
at this, that he could no longer re
strain him.-tell, and he said aloud :
"Mol God who rewards the g>od
and punishes the wicked, will not let
such cruelty be enacted without ven
geanoe. The day will come, madam,
when you will weep at not being able
to gather tip, one by one, the precious
grains which you this day cast into
the sea.”
‘‘l?’ exclaimed the lady with a Sa
tanic smile: ‘I shall fall into poverty
and shad want bread? It is about
as true that my dye* ihatl ioflce
more see this ring* which I cdst into*
the sea.”
“And at the same moment she
took a very valuable ring from ner
finger and threw it into the water.”*
“Nothing remained but-to obey,
and the valpabl*,cargo was all com
mittedla the deep.” ...
"Some days after the lady sent one
of her servant® totb market to buy
sons* fish. 'She particularly trade her
bring cod, but the servantuaime back
with a mackerel.” ", L 'H
“Wnat is this? said the lady. Do
you take me for a goose? You bring
mackerel, and I told you to bring me
cod.”
‘‘Madam,’ replied , the servant,
‘there was only one cod in the mar
ket, and it was so large that I did
not like to buy it for madam’s dinner
alone.” f
"Go b3ck atenbej’ sa44th-imperi
ous dame* and do as I bid you.”
"So the servant went back for the
great codfish,afid having brought it
home, committed it to the charge or
the hock. , The latter, on opening It,
found within the ring which the lady
had oopamitted to. the 3ea, and , has
tened tb retttrn it db her.”
“Aft; unfortunate tftatr T am,’ said
the lady, turning pale as she saw it.
A fld she felt ifie first pang of ihatjre
nibfSejsyhreh Is thefereruonerof pun
ishment creeping into her
ence.”
“Nearly at the same moment peo
ple camato announce to hep that one
of her llSti'llas coming from the East
had been dispersed by a storm and
the ships wrecked.” i -i yj
"A few days afterward news came
that several of her ships, richly
laden, bad been captured by the
Moors. The great houses with which
she did business also failed; and
with one loss afld ; another, in less
than a year she was a ruined woman,
and the mariner’s propheoy had
been fulfilled,
flPpmvshunned and abandoned by
every owfe, the lady of Stavoren had
fell iuto the deepest misery. With
out a home and hungry, she weqt
bogging from door to door: ‘but the
poor xtinembered. her hard-hour tod
ness in prosperity, and refused to
relieve nor. Grief and vexation,
added to her privations, soon
brought her to the grave.
“Unfortunately, tho punishment
of the lady did not profit tho inhab
itants of Btavoroo, the majority of
whom, like her, were harsh, egotis
tical and avaricious. Oue day, in
drawing water from a well, It was
found to contain her-rings. The
next night the waters of the sea rose
out of it, and swallowed thref-fourtfee
of tho town. To the present-day not
a year phases away witndtit Bdma of
the huts being /swept away, and there
is not, a prosperous inhabitant to be
found in the whole Wane.” .
“At the spot whetfe the wheat was
thrown out, comes up ?very year a
species of corn out Of the water, whioh
bears ho llpwer • tho is veik
high', and the head resembles that ot
wheat, but it bears no seed. The
sandbank on which this fertile har
vest grows stretches the whole length
of Stapvren, and it is known as tlie
Stravensana, or the Lady’s sand
bank.”
