SINGULAR STORY.

In an article on "Spiritualism and the Life After Death," in the March issue of the "London Magazine," Bishop Welldon (Dean of Durham) quotes from the late Lord Brougham's autibiography a curious experience there described Lord Brougham and his most intimate school and university friend, G , had discussed the possibility of the dead appearing to the living, "and we actually, committed the folly of drawing up an agreement, written with our blood, to the effect that whichever of us died the first should appear to the other, and thus solve any doubts we had entertained of the 'life after death.' " G went to India, and the two i friends lost touch with each other. i "I had taken a warm bafch," writes I Lord Brougham, "and while lying in it II turned my head towards the chair on which I had deposited my clothes. On the chair sat G—— looking calmly at me. How I got out of the bath I know not, but on recovering my senses I found myself sprawling on the floor. Tha apparition, or whatever it.was, that had taken the likeness of G , had disappeared." Later ; - Lord Brougham received news that his .friend had. died .in India on the same date as that on which he saw the vision in the bathroom.
