"Charlie do you knew that your oo- •om-frlMd Bthan Grey Is deadT He died suddenly last night" cried Jack Attain rushing unceremoniously Into my room early one morning before I was dreued. "Good Godl Jack It Is Impossible. I left him at bis own door at eleven last night la at good health as even" , But as 1 spoke I saw from Mr. At* Iain's pale face that there was no mis- take and there Immediately flashed across my mind the remembrance or an old promise that I bad made to iEtban Grey which 1 had renewed the night before. I am not ashamed to •ay that toll memory brought cold dews of terror to my body. My com' panioa observed my sodden pallor* and strove ID his toUgh way to com* fort mG. Hi was a next-door nelsh- bor of the Qreys, and bad been sum- moned to their house by the cries of Mrs. Grey, wh"o, on going to her son's room to awaktn him, had found him stiff and dead in his bed. "The old lady Is dreadfully cut up, Charlie," be said, In conclusion, "and then is no on* but Ethan's sister Eatth to see to anything. It was she that sent metoyou." "My poor girl!" I cried, as I hastily dressed myself—for Edith and 1 were engaged to be married. As I walked rapidly to Mrs. Grey's I could only re- member that Ethan Was dead, and that I should be called upon to fulfill the promise referred to. The thought was a selfish one, I will admit, but I have ever been of a nervous, sensitive temperament Bthan Gray and I had been school- mates; we graduated from college at the. sane tifiie; And started In life to- gether—he as a disciple of law, and I as a doctor. Wo disagreed on many subjects, without any bitterness, how- ever. When about eighteen, and while we were still at college, Kthan wandered from the church of wbtcb we were both members, to follow after t false teaebsf. Ho had by chance cone In contact with an infidel, a man of great talent, who had been a minister of the gospel, but who bad been de- graded from bis sacred calling for ir- regularity of life. Specious and elo- quent, this man was a didgorous companion. | Unfortunately, Ethan, who was easily Influenced, fell under bis Inllu- enco, andbecame fully imbued with bit viows. After knowing this preacher for a while, ho horrified me by tho de- nial of a higher and more perfect stato' of existence, and by declaring that the "next world was & cofta." t At college we passed many long nights In arguing tbe question. 1 at that period, being very orthodox, was uncharitable, Insisting that for my friend there would bo no salvation If he did not returntothe old belief. One night, after a hotter argument thaa usual. I made some remark Indica- tive of pity for his soul when It «hdiild leave bis body. Turning to me grave* ly, after a moment's pause, ho aa'd, "Charlie, you may be right in your be- lief of a future state, yet t cannot as- cribe to the Great Unknown the cruel attributes with which the orthodox de- light to clothe Him. I believe that It there ts a hereafter, my soul will en- joy it as well as yotirs. We are both seekers after truth. Should I die first, and the spiritual essence called the soul leave my body, If It Is permitted, It shall make itself manifest to you—to more than one of your senses shall it appeal, and that within twenty-four hours after my death. If we continue to live ID the same village, at It most likely, sit up alone with my body tbt flrat night, and I will than visit you. la It* bargain, Charlie?" • •VM, Kthfn, t ?UI Willingly apee; BhA inoUld I d l e i n t . you will sit up with me, and I will come and warn you to repent and believe," was my eager answer. At the time we made this strange compact my health was by no meant robust. I waa of a nervous, sensitive temperament, fostered by close appli- cation to study, and I believed that 1 should die early. For the salvation ol my friend I almost hoped that I should. Shortly after this we left colle**. In •tore active life and the rough strug- gle a young nan with bis own way to make encounters, many morbid Ideas were dispelled; my health had Improv- ed, ani I had almost forgotten my on- gagement with Kthan, though we w«re still much together, his gentle sitter Kdith being My aOaaced. Ow oMllsewslOBt oe religion were •ever resumed. Kthan attended church regularly wife his family, and seemed to have forgotten his Infidel friend. Whether he had or uot I cannot say, The evening before his death waa *l»oi by me, as usual, with KdlUt, Ethan was present, joyous «%d hopeful of • ne future. I OB»erved nothing uncommon In his manners or conversation till '*• ac»«p*aie< *etothe door. He stood tHMtde M lotkiic at the stars while I lighted a cigar, when, wdatnly catching my hand,feeaald, "CaarHt, all looks quiet and beautiful tip there, I hope you ha»a not forgotten onr col- lege compact. You are strong now, and will M» iK out* "Hush, Bthan!" I replied, almost angrily. "What folly to talk so, you have never tad • day's slckasss !» your llfel" "True. Charlie, yet all la not right hero, I am sure" he replied, touching hts heart in a half laughing manner; "doif t forget your promise, old fellow, if you are catted upon." "Lovesick?" I asked, lujHngly. "All right, I will keep my promise any time within the next fifty years. Good- by," I continued, puffing my cigar into brightness aa I shook bands wit* lilm. And now he ws<« rtcart, and ! should save to keen my word. I spent tli* day at Mrs. ffi sMIA sail a. ah* fives In the viltafs, ordering every* thing for the funeral, which was to take place the next day. In my ac- tive and unaccustomed dntles the loss night yet to come waa almost forgot- ten. The comfortable old farmhouse bad- already put on a strange, fonorn look, and each hour I more and more misted my poor friend's cheerful voice and genial presence. We had placed the corpse In the long, dark, oak-panelled sitttug-rootn. The coffin stood on the table directly before the wide old chimney, up whote capacious funnel Kthan and more than one of his anccta* ton had shouted childish prayers to eld Santa Claus, and In the blue of whose roaring fires, as men and boys, they bad warmed themselves. It was « quaint, comfortable old room. At ono sldo ftdod an old-fMh* ioned English buffet, oa the other t> tall Dutch clock, such aa our ancestors used, which bad been In tbe family for generation!—brought over from th« old homestead when tho Cavaliers first fled to Virginia, so It waa said. A few minutes past eleven I pressed my lips to tho chalk ot the still weep- ing Edith, andtntered the room where the corpse lay to commence my lonely vigil. Restless and excited, I paced tho room, or stood silent by the body. at all that remained of poor „_. and. allowing memory to wan- back, till the real hod passed from my physical vision and I waa llvinj over the past. My deep reverie was suddenly dls* polled by hearing a dull, heavy blow struck near ma on the coffin, such a, thud at a clod of earth would make 10 thrown upon tt. At the tame moment tbe Clock cStBmcnctid striking, and I huge black creature rushed from the coffin past me. disappearing through the door. Trembling, I fell upon a chair, a.nd eat staring at tbe corpse. expecting each moment to hear ita voice break the dreadful silence. It did not move; ghastly pale in the dim lamplight it lay, wearing yet the smile Kthah had died with, unable to endure toe awful suspense of expecta- tion, I rushed to tbe door, determined to call some one of the servant* to sit with me. All looked dark and quiet Growing •shamed of my terrors I returned to tbe room, exclaiming; "Ethan. I will ke^p my promise to you, and remain alone to meet you» iplrlti" . . . . I sat down resolutely and fixed my eyes upon the corpse, determined to watch cioaely. Heaven 1 even now I can remember how long the minutes seemed. I could watch their passage by tbe old'clock standing opposite me; five wentfly",t«n, a halt hour pan* three-quarters, till! no movement. "Almost one o'clock," I exclaimed. In • low vote*, with a sigh of relief, closing my aching eyes and pressing the burning balls with my fingers. Scarce were they closed when again cam* that dreadful blow, and as I opened my eyes the black object darted by while tbe clock tolled-one. "God in Heaven!" I cried, starting up. "AmI never again to know rest? Is that frightful sound to haunt me whenever f close my eyesf Ob, Kthan, dear friend, I cannot keep this fright- ful efttnfiaftt. If it Is your Spirit striv- ing to free itself, speak, make some sign, tell me what I shall do to give you restr No answer came from the cold ilpas I heard naught, saw naught, but that smile which, now seemed ts mock ma tn agony I started up and paced tho room. I would call none to witness my terror. As long AS my eyes were open and I conscious, I had not been die* turbed.

SkmUon's first call "upon the President, as the author* teed representative of Spain, taught him that an honorable peace could bo secured It Spain really desired tt. Briefly summed up the conditions tm< posed by tho President are: "The re- HiKjulshuient of nil Claim of mve* fclcnty over or title to tho islands of Cuba, as well as the immediate evueu- otion W Spin of thd Island: tho ces* btnn tOtnfe Unitpd States dud Immedl* hio evacuation of Porto Rico and otlior" islands tthder' SJantan sovereignty in tho West Indies, and tho Hko cession of aa lilaoa In the Ladrones.

Of one thing we may be assured. We have entered upon a new era to our national development Meets end bounds of tbe empire of liberty are no more to bo set, for her dominion is to be in the face of tbo whole earth. A summary of tho results of the war as far 93 It has gone Is of interest; Hostilities commenced April 2lsi and peace proposals were accepted August 2d, 1 hero were, therefore, just 103 days'of actual war. As #oar as can be ascertained, the Spanish have lost 11.- 000 killed. Our loss Is 253 killed and 1,324 wounded.* In addition wo lost 2C0 men on tho Maine, We have not tost either a ship, a luggage wagon or a gun. Spain has lost Mon logo's fleet, Ccrvora's fleet, Cuba, Porto Blco, one of the Ladrones Antl undoubtedly also control over tho Philippines. At the cmbrcnii of the war our army num- bered 37,532 men, Ita strength to-day io 878.G00 men. StroiiRtL of United States navy when war wan declared: Battleships and cruisers, 14; moni- tors, 18; unnrmorcd steel vessels, 16; gun boats, 19; torpedo boats, 23.

It Is a brief but a glorious page of history which we have been filling up during the past four months, It Is clear to all the high officials connected with the administration tbat this Government has catered up- on a new and unexplored field, and that the problem of governing in Cu- ba and the other Islands so long cursed by Spaoifh rule, Is of a magnitude of which' has not been considered. It Is a fact that at the very moment when the question of the disposition to be made of the Philippine Islands was un- der discussion in tho cabinet meeting, that a dispatch was received from General Merritt, which shows that Agulnatdo Is assuming a strange posi- tion for oae who has everything to thank the Americans for. Ho had been banished from the Island, and was taken back by Commodore Dewey.
