Well, it's nothin for people in these parts

manners OH our Presidents.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Mirror gives the following
account of the manners of our late Pres
idents.--Erchange Paper.
"Mr. Fillmore is in fine health and
spirits, and | think it will be conceded
by every body, that he is the best looking
Of all the Presidents who have occupied
the national mansion. have seen the
greater part of them, but certainly for
an nnafectedsv polite and courteous gem
tleman none could compare with the
present occupant. John Quincy Adams,
with whom my Presidential remember
ances commence, was chilIingly cold,
stiff and ungenial in his manner of re-
ceiying visitors; he made you keep your
distance and feel it too.
"Gen. Jackson was frank and digni-
fed, but no: very cordial; his successor.
who gloried in walking in his footsteps,
but didn't, was smirkingly civil and po-
litely gracious.
''Gen. Harrison, poor old man, hardly
had any manner of his own after he en-
tered the white house; he was kind hear
ted, but feeble, aud was soon worried out
of his existance. ... ........-. ....... 4
"As for Mr.. Tyler, it is hardly posi-
Bile to carry away any other impression
OF him, than t,tat made by his very
prominent nose.
''Mr. Polk was a very civil President,
and easy in his manners, but he always
appeared like an overworked machine;
his feeble frame and cold grey eyes did
not leave very pleasant feeling on his
visitors.
Seen. Taylor, Heaven rest his honest
soul! received you as grand-father does
his grand children, and you left his pres
ence forgetting that you had seen the
President. and only feeling that yoa had
been talking to one of the kindest old
souls in existence. .s..s.
president Fillmore differs essentially
from them all; he is man among men
in appearance, overtopping in his height
the majority of the human family; finely
formed, in good health, with bright eye,
clear complexion, erect in carriage, and
sufficiently stout with being corpulent, he
is a representative of the American gen.
tleman whom his countrymen take pride
IN. He is exceedingly winning in his
manner of receiving his guests, takes
them kindly by the hand says an ap-
propriate word to every one, smiles gra-
ciously to the ladies, and moves about
the room with the ease and air Of gen.
tleman receiving his friends in his own
house. MIR. Fillmore cannot fail to be
personally popular with the people, let
them think of him as they may politi-
calfy.

Where do men generally discover the
women who afterwards become their
wives! is question we have OCCASION
ally heard discussed, and the result in
variably come TO is worth mentioning to
our lady readers. Chance has much to
do in the affair; but then there are i'm
portant governing circumstances. 1t is,
certain that few men make selection
from bathrooms, or any other places of
public gaiety and nearly as few are in
fluenced by what may be called showing
off in the streets. or by any allurement of
dress. Our conviction is, that 99-l OOths
OF the linery with which women decor
ate or load their persons, go for nothing
SO far as husband catching is concerned.
Where and how, then, do men fud their
wives! In the quiet cottages of their
parents or guardians-at the fireside,
where the domestic graces and feelings
are alone demonstrated; these are the
charms which most surely attract the
high as well as the humble. Against
these, all the finery and airs in the world
sink into insigni6cance.
