STORY OF A KEY AND DISASTER. You may be interested to hear of a thing which happened to me in Brit. tany last summer. I had to sign some railway transfers before the nearest British Consul, who was at Brest. I locked up the papers and railway stocks in a Breton cupboard as high as the ceiling and very solid. 1 kept the key in my pocket. When my cone sin and 1 were ready to start I took out the key and it would not open its own cupboard. The servants came in turn and tried in vain. We had to miss our train to Quimper, which was our first stage to Brest. Now our village blacksmith was very rough and ready, so the next morn ing I said I would try the key sayselfl once more, before he perhaps ruined my lock. The key fitted perfectly and we went. But, imagine, we found at the station great placards posted up tell- ing of the awful wreck of the Brest train the day before, and it was the train in which we should have been but for the obstinacy of the key, We saw the carriages all fallen into the river, and the dead and dying were fn the hospital at Quimper. We feel this to be a preservation wrought trom'the next world that is so near, | lite, Hodgaon Pratt, ia ght.
