He wore a sol-i ' uniform and lay upon .a pallet : di of straw, with no one to bid him nod-bye, and see his last sUngflc, his brave comrade, Lieutenant Aubrey Morton. As be uttereil the above words, Aubrey Morton knelt ! ps-ide him and took his hand within his own. ' Anything you ask, William, I j will do if it lieth in my power." "Three years ago," said the dying man, "I met and loved Ethelyn Martson. I worshipped her, and she favored my attention, and at last I proposed to her, and although she, did not formally engage herself to I me, yet she gave me all reason to I hope that one day she would be my wife. Those days' were blissful on js t" me, bat they were of short duration. Ethelyn Martson was false; she told me at length that she did not love me.

The dying man saw that his comrade hesitated, and be grasped bis hand with a mighty effort, while a gleaming, anxious light shone in his eyes. "Aubrey, you love nie." he said, almost fi rcely, "promise if it lieth iu your power that you will avenge me. Place your hand on this Itible and -wear to it Quick, I am going." With a face almost a - bite as t hat of the dying man, Aubrey placed his trembling hands upon the sacred b 'ii: and made the required vow. A look of satisfaction shone on the dying soldier's face. Thank you," be said feebly, there is no one who win sued a tear f..r me, but you, old com ratie. Tell Ethelyn, when you have broken her heart, that William Haskins i- avenged. Oh, Etlielyn, Ethelyn, I yoj never will tuner more than i nave Ethelyn Martson, of Mystic Valley. Find her, Aubrey, if you look the world over. I am going kiss me, Aubrey I love vou. Goodbye."Morton ben! over the dying man, kissed his fold brow, while tears gathered in his eyes and his voice was choked with emotion. William Haskins was dead; be closed the sightless eyes, and with a sad heart prepared the body of his dead friend lor uiiriai. A year passed by and peace hovered once more over our bleeding country, and Aubrey Morton, clothed in cithten's dress and crowned with a hero's glory, was spending the winter in Now Vork city.

He was grow ing tired of all this show and affectation, and disgusted with feshionable lie-, lie saw pretty .Mrs. Davis lit the upper end of the room and wont to her immediately.

She was frank, yet a little shy and tlie hour he spent with her was (he happiest he had known for some weeks. At the hour of departure he placed the rich mantle about her shoulders, and assisted her to the carriage, while stiange emotions filled bis heart He went to his room in the hotel, but the liht of her glorious eyes f.ll. .wed torn, and all night lie tossed restlessly upon bis couch, sometimes uttennc her name an sometimes calling upon Wm.

It was the evening before Kthelyn's return to her bom,' at Mystic Valley a id she was sitting with" a book at Aubrey Morton's feet, rending "Maud," iu a low, mellow voice. Suddenly she threaf h t book aside, and looking into '. r companion's face, she said eagerly. "How clad my mother will be to see mi "And how sorry T shall be to lose you!

She looked into bis eyes while a moisture filled her own. "Aubrey," she .-aid, "words cannot tell you how dear you are to me." At these words her lover's face grew pale, for the lirst time sine a she sit at his knee reading "Maud'' he thought of his vow to Win. 1 las-kins.Passionately he kissed the rosy mouth crying painfully, "Ethie, my darling, may Uod blesss and sustain vou.

Very true, but everytlung in the worm about safe is know n in Cincinnati, laud the reader of this notice will concede the point when he has rerd to the end. This mammoth iron ed- ' Ifice was made for the Pittsburg Safe Deposit Company. A detailed description has heretofore appeared in print in 0110 of our leading dailies, and we therefore give the main features only. It is both lire andburglar-proof. The (ire-proof portion is constructed of heavy plates of the i be.-t w rought Iron, and is twenty feet long, eighteen feet w ide, and fifteen high at the center of the arch, ,.,. 1,1-1. and surmounted with a heavy cor- j nice of about one foot in bight, and which projects at the sides some sov-; enteen indies.

Thesiecial plan of the dovetailing work is secured bv a patent granted to Mr. Hall, and has boon pronounced the most improved and superior plan over conceived or adopted. The entire thickness of the safe through every part is twelve inches. There are four doors totLesafe.

We are informed that when the idea of tho erection of such a safe was originated by the Pittsburg Safe Deposit Company, the principal safe manufacturers in the eastern cities put in estimates and competed for the work.
