"Never to speak of this that you have heard", by which he means the appearance of the ghost, although Horatio heard nothing from the ghost's lips. Also, "How strange or odd soe'er I bear myself . . .that you, at such times seeing me, never shall . . . note that you know aught of me." Horatio and Marcellus are not to suggest even that they have an idea why Hamlet is doing what he is doing.

Why is hamlet so concerned that horatio stay alive to tell his story?

The most important reason that Hamlet wants Horatio to tell everyone his story is that the only people who know that Claudius killed the former king are Hamlet, the Queen, and Horatio. Hamlet wants everyone in Denmark to know that Claudius was a murderer who obtained the crown through illegitimate means. Also, just before dying, Laertes (who had begun to have doubts about going through with the plan about halfway through the duel) begs for Hamlet's forgiveness and says that Claudius got what he deserved. Laertes says that if Hamlet forgives him for killing him, that he will forgive Hamlet for killing Polonius and him. Just after this, Laertes dies, and Hamlet forgives him. He seems to be fairly fond of Laertes and has a good amount of respect for him (for the most part) and wants everyone to know that Laertes was a good man and only Claudius should be held responsible for killing Hamlet and the Queen.
