And as it entered tune after time into her inind„ that it was by no means cer- tain whether her husband were dead. she resolved upon th;tt point to inform herself.

She will make many obstacles when she comes to quit the house, and you will have much trouble in prevail- ing with her. Observe, then, what 'e you . ought to do. This evening, at nightfall, have a couch, adorned accord- ing 'to custom, and some good bearers : come noiselessly, awl present yourself at ?lie door. the lady who will appear, with a head dress of mourn- ing, is my sister in-law ; speak not a word to "ner, and listen not to what she would say to you ; but seize, on her at once, cast her into the couch, conduct, her on board your bark, and makp sail.' ' - The expedient pleased the enerohant very much, and the execution appeared to him easy. - Lin the Treasuie, having 'turned te the hotiee, dissembled himself in pre- sence of his sister-in-law, in order that the might suspect nothing of the pro- ject he had formed ; but SO S0011 as She had withdrawn, he imparted it in con- fidence to his wife ; and indicating the lovely Ouang by a spiteful jest, .' It must be,' said he, 'ha', this two -footed merchandise go forth this night of our house. As to th. t, I trouble myself little. I wish not, however, to find _myself present at this scene, and I shall go abroad for some moments. -Towards nightfall, sm. le people well accompanied, will cor, e to our gate, and carry her off in a wed -closed couch.' ---- He wOuld havei proceeded, when , he 4 was all at once arrested by a noise which he hard. Itas his sister in-law, , who was passing near the chember-win- dow. Liu the Treasere thereupon -bur, tied out another door ; and the precipi- tation of his retreat permitted him not to add all the circumstances of the abduction, and especially the mark ot the head-dress of mourning, by which Ouang was to have been distinguished. This happened, without doubt, by all especial providence from heaven. Outing easily perceived the noise which 'she had ma.de nigh to the window had obliged Lin the Tteasum abruptly to break off the conversation ,,' but she had heait enough of in, o oe unable to •cl ,ubt concerning the evil intentions of her brother-in-law. She entered the chamber, and approaching Yang -sang, to her - declared her apprehensions. 'My dear sister.' said she to her, 'you behold an unhappy widow, who is knit to you by the Closest ties of a friend- ship which was . ever most sincere. It is by this friendship that I implore you to avow to me frankly, if my brother- in-law still persists in wisning to force me to a marriage 1,v1iich will tend to my confusion I' At this deinand, Yang.at first appear- ed disconcerted, and blushed ; but speedily assuming'a conntenance more assured, What think you of my sister?

As soon as the Lady Ouang heard this proverb, drawn from the vessel, she better comprehended the meaning of the seuret discourse other orother-in-law. She brOl-e out into lanientations and abandoning herself to oief, shut herself up in her chamber, where she wept, groaned, and bewailed herself.

At the instant when she would have procured assistance, she heard some cne strike softly on the door of the house. she doubted not that it was the merch- ant of Kiang-si, who was comiiig in search of the wife he had purchased. She wished to hasten to his reception, and introduce 'him in to,the chamber of her sister -ii -law Her eagernees, and the scruple which she had against shew- ing herself without a head-dress, caused her to pilleup the mourning one ,of the Lady Ouang; whiole -she found at hand. It was truly the merchant of Kiang- si wh had. come to catry off the lady promised hiur. He had brought a wed- ding -litter, decorated with silken stream- ers, with festoons of flowers, and innu- merable beautiful lamps. It was sur- rounded by domestics bearing lighted torches, and a band of Musicians with flutes and heutboys. All this retinue was dr twn np in the street, without the instrumentbeing played or noise be- ing made. The merchant himself. was cletarhed from it, and had struck gent- ly at the gate. .But having foundit ajar, he entered the house, with .sorne of, those who held the flanibeaux to shew the way. As soon as the Dame Yang appeared, the merehant noticed upon her the mourning head-dress, which - was the token assigned him ; and being, besides, charmed with her appearance, and -some glimpses of ber countenance, threw himself ripen her, like a hungry gled upon a little bird. The beoplein his train hastened up, carried off the lady, and -enclosed her -in the. litter, veLich wee all prepared for her reception. She made 'a good outcry that they deceived themselves, that it was not she whom they sougfit : the flourish of instruments was instantly heard, and drowned her voice, whilst the litter-beareis stepped out with the more good -will, in order to traesport her to the bark. During' this time, the Lady Ouang had come to herself, and recovered her recollection. The great disturbance which she heard at the door of the house renewed her alarnas and caused her mortal uneasiness. But as she per- ceived that the sound of the instru- ments, and that confusion of voice and of music which had struck up all at, once, were fuither off every moment, she re -assured herself ;that in. a few inmates she regained courage, and went .forth to see what was ado. The Lady Ouang having called many times in vain for her sister-in-law, com- prehended that the merchant had de- ceived himself, and that he had carried off her whom he did not seek ; but she 'dreaded some troublesome vicissitude when Lin the Treasure should beeome aware of the mistake. She shut her- self up in her chamber; gathered up the head trimmings, the earrings, and the black head-dress, which lay upon the ground; and see thereupon dream- ed of courting‘a brief repose ; but it was impossible' for her to close an eye all the night long. At the 'ereak of day she arose, wash- ed her face ; end whilst she searched for her head-dress of mourning to put on, she heard a great noise at the house door. Some one beat it rudely, and called: Open now 1' It was Lin the Treasure, whose voice she recognised. Her part was speedily taken : she left him to knock there without repos. He swore, he stamp- ed, he roared enough to make himself hoarse. At lengtle -the Lady Owing drew near to the'door, and keeping behind without opening it, asked, Who is it that Ituccks, and makes such a noise 1' e-asure. The latter proceeded to his apartment; but not finding his wife there, and remarking a black head-dress on the head of his sister-in-law, he then feared his miefortune. Ha! where, th.en, is your sister-in-law r said he to Ouang. 'Yoi should know better than re- plied that lady, since it is you who have contrived this niee intrigue 'But,' replied Lin the Treasure, ,why wear yon not the white headedresst, Have you laid aside Your mourning?' The Lady Outing h d the -condescen- sion to relate to him what had occurred in his absence. Scarcely - Scarcely had she finished, when Lin the Treareire beat his breast passionate- ly, and wot ked hinaself up to dispair. regaining his temper at length by slow degrees, ' have still one expedient in misfortune.' 'said he to himself, and thet is, to sell my sister-in-law. With the money she will fetch me, 1 wil, buy another wife, and none shall know have been unhappy mough to sell My,* own.' He had gambled -all the preced:" ing night, and lost the thirty twig whi.,-.11 he had received of the merchant of Kiang-si, who was already 'very far away with his neev spouse. He was pretraringto sally forth to go negotiating this new bargain, when, be observed at the door four or five indi- viduals, who pressed for admission. These were his elder brother Lin 'the - Diamond, Lis younger brother Lin the Pearl, his nephew Hien!, and two do- mestics who were bearing the luggege, .Lin the Treasure, confounded at this sight, had not the: face to endure their presence; he evaded' them as quickly - as he could by the hack door, and dis- appeared like ligL tning. The Lady Outing, tiansported with joy, hastened to receive her dear hnsb- and. Lint how incredibly lively were her motions when she perceived a son, whom sue loved with exceeding tender- ness, and had leng given up as lost. She scarce could regognize hint, he had grown so tall and handsome. Ali, by what gcod fortune,' .cried she, 'have you recovered this hear child; whom I had believed lost 1' Lin the Diamond gave his wife a xe- cital of his whole adventures, and she, in turn, related to him at large all the indignities to whieh Lin the Treasure had subjacted her, and the extremities to which he had reduced her Lin the, Diamond on this occasion, accorded to his virtuous spouse the just praises her fidelity merited. He exclaimed, in concludin115 e : If, by a blind passion for wealth, .1_hati retained two hundred taels which, I found by chance, how should I have been Ole_ to retrace our dear son 1 If avarice has prevented me from devoting twenty taels to succour thOse who had suffered shipwreck, my dear brother Would have perished la the waves, and Ishonld have seen him n'o more. If, by an unexpected adventure I had not encountered that excellent brother, how sLould I have . timeeusly discovered the to:sable and: -confusion which reigned in my house 1' Without that, my dear wife we should Meyer have seen -ourselves ret nited, our fami- ly shouid have been dismembered and plunged into affliction. . This is all the effect of a particular porovidence of Heaven, which has brought about these several events.
