We were between sixteen and seven teen years of age, when the event about to bo related transpired, and a.3 a des cription of our personal appearance at that time ia absolutely essential (o the point of our story, we will give it as concisely as the subject will allow. In reference, then, to that period, to say that we were green in the usual accep tation of that term, would give the rea der but a poor idea of the figure wo dis played. Rather imagine a tall, lean, cadaverous, swathy looking chap, with legs like a pair of tuugs, a countenance about as expressive as a plate of Dutch cheese, a mouth that came very near making an island of all the head above it, a face covered with a furze that look eel very much like the down on a newly hatchcd goslin, with a gait that would lead the beholder to conclude that we designed to travel down both sides of the street at ihe same time, and you have a correct daguereotype of Jeems in the seventeenth year of his age. One dark, gloomy night 111 the month of December, we chanced to bo at a "spelling school" not a thousand miles from Baldwinville, where our eyes fell on a "fairy form" that immediately set our susceptible heart in a blaze. She was sixteen, or thereabouts, with blight and her person, to our ravished imagi nation, was more perfect in form and outline, than the most faultless statue ever chisseled by the sculptor's art. As we gazed, our feelings, which never be fore had aspired girlward, were fully aroused, and we determined to go home tpith her that night or perish i?i the attempt. As soon, therefore, as school was dis missed, and our "lady love" suitably bonneted and cloaked, we approached to offer our services as contemplated, and we then learned an important lesson, viz: the difference between resolving and doing. As we ncarcd her, we were seized with a partial blindness—red, green, blue and yellow lighfs flashed upon our vision, and appeared and dis appeared like witches in a phantasma goria—our knees smote together like Rolsl.azzor's when he discovered tho hand-writing on tho wall, while our heart thumped with apparently as much force as if it were driving ten-penny naila into our ribs. We, in the mean time, managed to mumble over sonic thing which is perhaps known to the Recording Angel, but certainly is not to lis, at the same time poking out our elbow as nearly at right angels with our body as our physicial conformation would admit. The air blew keenly, which served in soror sort to revive us, and as our senses returned, what were our emotions on finding the cherished object of our first love, clinging to our arm with all the tenacity that a drowning man is said to clutch at a straw Talk of elysian, or sliding drown greased rainbows, or feeding on German flutes, what are sich "pi el inks" in comparison to those mighty ones that swelled our bosom nigh unto the bursting of our waistcoat Ibuttons! Our happiness was sullhnc, sublimity, suhlijne/y, sublimated, and every person who has ever felt the di vine throbbing of a fledged love prin ciple, fully understands the world of bliss couched in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh words at U19 commence ment of this sentence. Well, we passed on pleasantly towards our Sally's home, talking of "love aud dove and dart and part," until, so cour ageous had we become, that we actually proposed 'to go in and sit a while,' to which our dulcinea very graciously as sented. Alas, for us how soon were wo to bo reminded that the course of true love never did run smooth." Sally had a brother of some ten sum mers who accompanied us along the way, and who was in wonderful high spirits at the idea ©f his sister's having a beau, aud lie would walk around us frequently, giggling iu tho lioighth of his glee, and eye us as closely as if our self and Sally were the world-renowned Siamese twins, and he was taking his first look. Bill, by the way, was a stub bed, chuckle headed boy, whose habili meuts would have made the fortune any two dealers in mop-rags.

Proper care in the selection of tho best ears will not only improve the quality but the quan tity of the next crop.

The English power is immense, and it will be exerted to the utmost in the contest.

It has, perhaps, more than anything else, kept alive the heroic ele ment in the national character, by open inga boundless lield to enterprise and daring. It has counteracted what has been said to be a defect of the English mind, a tendency to merely material views and selfish comforts. The future reader of English history may ascribe to the circumstances of India the repu tation of tho two most remarkable men in war and politics that England has produced for where in her annals can she show a soldier of the daring and energy of Clive, or a statesman of the power and Commanding energy of War ren Hastings?

Important Financial Movement isr tub West.—An important movement, bearing directly upon the financial in terests of tho West, has been innugurft* ted in Chicago. The Tribune is inform ed that several of the leading banks of that city have entered into au arrangt ment to advance currency for the pur chase of grain, taking the bills of lading in the name of the Bank making the .advance and selling the grain 011 account of tho homo purchaser. Dean Rich mond is ihe consignee at Buffalo and A. II. Hovey, of Syracuse, the con signee at Oswego. It is of vital ioiK portance to the West that the new crop should be immediately sent forwara* only about six weeks—two mouths ai most—of Lake navigation being left nn the object of the above arrangement is, of course, to move the crop eastward fjr the purpose of making exchange on New York cheaper and thus enabling debtors in tho West to meet their liabili ties at the East without a ruinous saen tice. The Tribune adds that the bank# of Chicago have lostsome twenty thous and dollars or more by consigning grain to irresponsible and dishonest men nl the East, Mho, instead of accounting for the proceeds from its sale, have paid their own debts with the money, thus compelling Chicago, in the present fi nancial difficulties, to shoulder both her own indebtedness and a portion of thai East. It is for the avoidance of this sort of swindling that Mr. Richmond and Mr. Hovey, gentlemen of great wealth .and stering integrity, have bee# selected as the general consignees of all tho banks in tho arrangement. It is thought this movement, if properly earried out, will produce a marked and permanent change for the better in tha financial affairs ot Chicago.
