Wlth the present dumber, the Tribune ha# en tered upqa ita third relume. Commenced at a time when the confidence of the citizens of Al toona in newspapers and newspaper publishers was considerably shaken, if not totally annihila ted, it has slowly but surely restored that con .fidence, and now stands upon a aurefunndation, -and is universally acknowledged to be one of the fixed institutions of our town. But this re sult has not been achieved without a hard strug gl«, and considerable expenditure of time and means on the part 'of ita editors. The steady Increase of patronage, however, has afforded in dubitable evidence that their labors have been ap -1 -Mated. ! > In entering upon thp new volume it la almost Unnecessary to say that.tbftFViAiwewill contin «» to be ‘‘IXDEPKJTDESX 0J EVERTTHIKO,” be ing biassed neither by fear, favor nor affection, in favor of parties or sects. I In this respect it is only necessary to say that the past affords a fair index os to our future course. It has always been our aim to make the Tri bune, a. reliable first-class Local Paper, as we 'believe that in that character alone, country pa pers can successfully compete- with their flashy «ity neighbors. To- this\ end we have secured correspondents in various parts of the county, who furnish us with all the items of local inter est ia their vicinity. Wo purpose adding others to out list as soon as we can obtain them. Du ring the next year we shall redouble our efforts to make the Tribune a perfect compendium of Hoxe Sews—a reliable, first class Local Paper, second to none in the country, and ns such a welcome weekly visitor to our patrons, Whether at homo or abroad. But while the Local Department shall be our ■pedal care, wo shall also demote a considera ble space to Literary Matter, Fps and Hl ycca, and the chronicling of events of general interest to our readers. We purpose also pub lishing from time to time “ Original Sketches of Men and 'Things ” which will bp furnished by our contributors.' .We have made arrangements also to have a weekly letter from Philadelphia, and judging from the reputation pur correspon dent sustains as a popular writer, these letters will be a rich treat to our, readers. As we are decidedly jdarualists of the pro gressive school, we have concluded to adopt the cash system in our -business. The npglect of quite a number of our patrons.to pay up prompt ly, and the rascality of jothers, hits compelled iu to adopt this coarse. Time and experience kos fully proved to oar satisfaction that the credit system will not work with Newspaper pablUbers.

A TALE OF THE REVOLUTION ‘ Father, is there no hope for him ? Is the British General so heartless as to con demn one so noble, so brave, so young to die without mercy ?’ These words were used by a pale, tear ful girl of great beauty, in the middle por tion of the Revolution which gave free dom! a home in our own loved soil. Du ring that period when cruelty was but too prevalent with both parties—when tones, wer<f if possible, more relentless and cruel than the British troops. ihe • father, a noble looking man of middle age, turned a glance out of the window which opened toward Long Island Soupd, the x green waters of which could be seen sparkling beyond a grove that fronted his dwelling near Hurl Gate.— He had turned to this to hide his emo tions, for she was his only child, and he feared that her young heart would break when he told her all the sad news that lay so heavily on his heart. ‘Speak, father, tell me, is there no hope ? I I will go myself, and kneeling to the ty rant, will plead for the life of him whom I love as only woman can love!’ she oon r tinned. ‘ Alas, my child, mercy is dead in the British General’s breast—his heart is cal- Ipus ito pity I I have risked much by pleading for him, but for .your sake I, would be almost willing to die in Nathan s place.’ 6 00 , ‘ Cruel, cruel fate ! when is he to die ! [There may be some hope of his rescue.— He was a great favorite with Washington, and he is at white Flaius. X will go to him.’ f Alas,, my child,’ said her father, ‘ nerve yourself for the news. It is already too late.’ ‘ Head, dead V shrieked the poor girl, ‘ 0 father say that is not so 1’ ‘Alas my child, I cannot. He was iumg at sunrise, And was even refused a bible to look at, ere he was summoned be fore his, Maker.’ For a moment the poor girl stood si lent; not a’ tear came from her eyes ; but a wild light illuminated them ; .a flash as bright as fire itself gathered over both face and brow—she clenched her fair hands together until the nails seemed to enter the flesh, and with bitter tones she cried: ‘ Life for life ! Ijshall be revenged—yes deeply revenged!’ ‘ Child, dear child, be calm/ said the fond parent. % ‘ Father, lam calm/ very calm. Calm as he is almost. And I swear he shall be revenged, if my own hand? have to reach the tyrant’s heart, that sealed his doom ! I loved, oh ! how I loved wore notour betrothal vows plighted? I will act as a widow—as the widow of a soldier ought to act/ ‘Mv dear child, you will bring ruin upon; our heads/ ‘Not upon yours, father; but tome, what is ruin now? But I will not he rash, I will go to my room, and ,p'ray and think of him who now lifts cold in death.’ She turned and left the Worn, while the father still stood looking from the window' ! out upon the waters, which were dashed with ja rising storm, and the trees, which began to krithe .beneath the force of the rising gale like some huge giant wrestling with Some un foreseen power. while his daughter had gone up to her room in Pile the most cheerful gables of the .did fashioned house; and forgetting to pray in the mad tumult pt her wrung heart—was also gazing out , upon the storm which was not wilder than the tumult in her, own heart. From per elevated position she could look over the tree tops and serried clouds as, like a battling host marshalled to the charge, sulphurous flames and smoke athwart the sky.— She could See the eddying of-Hurl Gate, fossWgj tli^ 88 In .the air—the break ers tumbling hlack J rooks, as if diawS Suddenly. #ou9d of : a. ptmnofl was §and, as she looked np the sound, r that a'.shlpVof war -had hove to riie A ■ and thg bated, .cjrpss of §t.

Aleuts with a: rapidity which only desper ate resolve could cause, she instantly left 1 the house, passing jdown the avenue be fore her father’s ey£s, ho.apparently little thinking that the spruce young water man who chose to breast such a storm, was his accomplished daughter. Hurrying down to a boat house which fronted the avenue, she loosened one of those small, light skiffs which are still the models of the pilots at Hurl Gate, hoisted a small sail, and in a few moments was out upon the hood tides as freely and bold ly as if she had been in a stout ship, in stead of so frail and small a boat. It is no new thing for her to be upon the water, being reared so near it, and hundreds of times bad she been dashing over those waves, but never in such a gale as that.— Yet cooly she steered her tiny cruft, avoid ing the dangerous whirlpools and rocks, and beading towards the frigate, which, impatient for a pilot, had fired another gun! Within less than twenty minutes from the time she‘started, she had luffed along side of the man-of-war, having caught the line east out to her, and fastened the boat, Ipid mounted the vessel’s side, and stood upon the quarter deck, in the presence of the commander. ‘ Are you a pilot ?’ said the latter impa tiently. ‘ I am, sir,’ was the .reply. ‘ Young for such business. Could you take us through the Hurl Gate.’ ; As well as ;my father, who has been a pilot here more than thirty years,’ was the reply ; ‘ >A hy did he not come out instead of sending a boy like you in a blow as fresh as this. ?’ • * Because he is laid up with the rheu matism, sir. and theu he knows that I Can pilot you through as well as he can. Sir Henry Clinton knows me sir.’ ‘ Ah docs he —well that is all right.— Can you bear away yet ?’ 4 No sir, not within an hour—till the tide runs ebb V 4 That is bad ; this gale keeps rising.— Is there no anchorage hereabouts V '■ 4 No sir not within twenty miles, where your anchor would hold.’ 4 Then we pmst go through !’ 4 Yes sir, as Soon as the .tide comes. I would not risk-it till then, for if the cur rent should catch you on either side bow, you’d go 1 on the rock, sure !’ 4 lhat is true } r oung man. Let me know the very earliest moment we can go through.’ ' e 4 Aye, aye, sir.’ And while the British commander turn ed of to speak to one of his officers, the patriot pilot cjajmly went to the main gano - - way, and looked over the side, as if watch ing for the change of tide. But what was passing in her heart theu ? There werp between three and four hundred souls in that fated vessel. She had lost the only loved thing, besides her father, on the 1 earth, when'Nathan Hale was hung as a spy that morning. She was not thinking hpw many hearts would be broken by her intended act; she was not thinking of the mothers, and sisters, and wives in Knglarid ddio would soon mourn fur the deed—she was only thinkjhg that soon she would join him in the spirit land, and that dearly would his loss be avenged. For her own Jifc she cared not, thought not—not even did she think of that wor shipping father, who sadly paced his room, believing that she was praying for-patience to bear net 1 loss. Meantime, there were those three or four hundred hearts beating with glad ness that they bad got over a long and sickening yoyage and soon would be anch ored in front of the sheen of greet?, ©veil though the storm hovered ever them. At last, looking towards the hOme'inj whicj? she Ayas| born, she knew it would; be bor last lopk, she turned and went to, the commander and said, \ ‘ The tide is slack, it changes suddenly, and' ye intend to fill away at once. The cmhman'der gave the necessary or der to liis lieutenant, and the next mo ment the main , topsail, whieh had been laid back, was braced around, the head seats eased awjiy, ufldThe vessel headed for the narrow channel, where a thousand crafts have ere thm laid their oaken bones.

Then, amid the rush of wa ters, the curses of officers, and the shouts of frightened men, was heard the shrill cry— ‘ If any of you survive this wreck, go tell your British General that Nathan Hale, is AVENGED, and that by a Woman .too! — Sink ! and may my curses go with you all!’ And before any could have reached her, had they wished it, she leaped into the ed dying tide, and ere she sank, the proud frigate, with its shivered spars aud sails, its flag still flying, and its crew of stout men, was going down into the cold, dark waters, and the murdered Nathan Hale was avenged! And thus this brief sketch is closed. — The guns of the sunken frigate rest be neath the tide of Hurl Gate; but the mem ory of the Patriot Pilot lives in more than one breast yet. 11c Old and tben lie Didn’t. Mr. James Johannes Smith was a man of a somewhat equivocal stamp, oral least everybody said so, and that makes it true. Yet he was an accommodating neighbor, and went to meeting Sundays, and had been known to tell his experience, the wickedness of which drew many L sigh and groan from the pious old deacons. — He used to drop a dime regular into the contribution box, and sometimes a quar ter, but then that wasn’t all. He was said to be guilty of paying more attention to a couple of sparkling black eyes, than to the devout teachings of the minister, and the deep sigh which now and then escaped his breast, was not exactly of a go-to-meeting character. Kate Hopkins had the above alluded to eycb. Jiow i batesuch eyes,)and hud a good bringing up, but they were a little too mischievous and black for the welfare of her heart. She hoarded at James’ house. ( James was a married man ) She, too, went to meeting regular, hut was particular fond of going evenings. Mrs. Smith staid at home theu, and took charge of three or four little curly-headed children. Mrs. Smith began to think (though she didn’t say anything about it) that her hus band was getting pious rather too fast, or that the minister preached better sermons in the evening than he didin the day time. Mrs. Smith was an observing woman, and had noticed that James and Kate would come home slower than the rest of the con gregation, and some other little things she •lid not think best to say anything about, i did not say that Mrs. Smith was a jeal ous woman, but she certainly had some very strange freaks. One Sunday evening, just before meeting was out, she thought she would while away a few minutes ! just to kill time, by sitting under a grape vine by the gate. It was a warm night—the moon, too small to stay up late, hail disap peared entirely. Presently, the soft foot steps were heard, the steady, ■ measured tread of old men with thick boots, and young men with their best new calfskins, and the stamping of still smaller ones, which made such araekei she liked to have run, but she didn't. It was soon still, however, and no one had disturbed the gate! She could not have been mistaken in this, for she was close by it, and it never opened without a long grating or growling noise, as though it hated to be disturbed. Uark ! the care ful step of a man approaches and the pat ting of a little gaiter bootfallssoftlyouthe night air ? It nears, though slowly, and the quick hearing ears of Mis. Smith caught something like the sound of muffled whis pers. They came nearer, and finally stop ped. Mrs. Smith held her breath, while Mr. Smith turned his hack towards her, against the fence, and K&tej&idid&tfy as she could see, leading parHaify on him; Oh that her been deof, had not been susceptible of such agitation. Was she in her right mind, or had some wild fancy taken possession of her thoughts? She was not crazy, and* her ears could hot well misunderstand at reaching distance. Smith spoke first after a moment's pause: ‘ There is but one thing loft for us to do/ ‘ And that,’ softly whispered his com panion, clinging closely to himall the while. :t Fly, fly with me —Neatest, away from tjiis unhappy spot,"whore I pan pour out my love at your feet, iahd forever task in the sunshine qf your charms. . the world will be nought to me unless I can clasp yqu to my heart, and tot feel the pleas ure to he momentary and fleeting. , i ‘ I am yours forever/ sighed Rate} leant ing her head upon his shoulder— ‘ and whatever he your wishes, I will only be tod' hippy in obeying them.’ ‘To-morrow night, then ,* answered James, ‘ you will meet me at the foot of the lane, at ten o'clock, where I will haven carriage tA readiness, and ere fhe morning dawns upon us, jye wfll bt( out of the reach of harm pc danger frpjn Nancy, and. I'shall not care for any one else/ ; a , ‘I wiU be there at the hnnr,’ said Kate, leaaSng her opp his shoulder * fiid howJwe innst g9]g lUhe:nn easy/ ( upturned lips. As : Smith turned round he thought he ssw something? flash. The old gate swung on its rusty hinges, and the lovers took the path leading to the 'back door. Mrs. Smith heard this last, charge to Kate, to oe punctual to the hour, and run hastily to the front door and by the time they had gained the back door, j she was comfortably rocking, in her arm j chair as unconcerned as if nothing had happened. That night Smith dreamed lovely dreams, how he would fly with the idol of his af fections, and evade the search of those whose revengeful dispositions would tempt them to follow ; but Mrs. S. dreamed bow he wouldn’t, and how much he would re pent of ever having ventured upon so haz ardous an experiment; andhbw liable hu man hopes were to blast, and the fondest dreams to vanish in thin air. But how to frustrate his plans was the question. She didn’t sleep when she dreamed, but she decided upon a plan of action; and then dropped herself in the arms of Morpheus. She arose early, prepared a good break fast, and expressed herself quite uneasy about Smith’s health, as his appetite seemed so very poor, and bad been getting so for some time past. Smith tried to be good that day, and bad not Nancy been, in his secret, she would have takenhis attentions for genuine love. Smith infbrined Nancy. at dinner that he had some argent busi ness on hand, and that he should not prob ably be at borne to supper. Mrs. Smith was sorry but couldn’t help it. Night came, and so did ten o’clock, which time found Smith at the foot ctf the lane. A female form, closely enveloped, sprang into his carriage, and Smith embracing her,, drove as fast as his horse could carry them. On, on they drove, clinging to each other in all the tenderness ofaffectionj he snatch ing a kiss every now and then from the nectar lips which only spoke in sighing whispers. Smith declared it the happiest moment in his life: and she only answered his lov ing protestations with a warmer embrace. Smith longed for the light once, more, that he might look into her love-beaming eyes, and read the tender thoughts she could not speak. Light did oome at last, and when the faintest streak of crimson tinged the eastern hills with a mellow light, Smith sought once more to feast hqs eyes upon those sparkling orbs which captiva ted him at the meetings. He took hold of her dimpled chin and turned her face lovingly up to his, and, O horrors ! Nan cy was looking him right in the face I Smith jumped a foot off the seat, dropped the lines, which Nancy caught ; he tried to say something, but bis tongue clove to the roof of bis mouth. Nancy roguishly smiled and said: ‘ Look iiito my loving eyes; Jim; but Jim wouldn’t do it, although she declared it to be the happiest moment in her life. ‘ James,’ said she, ‘ doyouseethat house yonder ? that is mine, and if you objections, we will spend the first night there.’ Nancy, it seems, while Smith was beside himself with delight because of the tri umph of his new born love, had silly turned the horse on a different road in the right direction to reach her home again about daylight. I never could learn from Mrs. Smith what Jim said when he did speak, but she says he is the best man she ever saw. But Nancy did tell one wrong story; she came home from a call just before it was time for Kate to start off with Smith, crying with tears in her eyes thatherhus band had got thrown from his jfuggy and nearly killed, and that she must go and take care of him. That was the reason why Kate didn’t go at the time-appointed; and Naney had no difficulty in presenting herself at the rendezvous agreed npdp.and fiad the happiness of eloping willf biff owh husband. : A Shout Sermon and a Hood One. —The Ilcv.
