What Wainek Think About Men, [From the Temple Bar for January.) We should like to kuow What opinion the sun has by this-time formed of the earth. Is be not rather tired of her monotonous smiles? Whichever way she turns, and however their mutual relations are altered by his slow pro gress towards Hercules, she is to him always the same. He never knows that she experi ences any night; and' be:must, therefore,have a wholly incorrect notion of at least the ialf of her. Now it seems to us that, in polite and refined society, the majority of Women are pretty much in the position of the sun, with re gard to the men around them. They never have a chance of knowing the real character of men, who, whatever be their temper or disposi- Cam, immediately become amiable, and complaisant, and courteous in the presence of women. What does a queen know Of her subjects and of their . thoughts of her? Wherever she turns, she only meets smiling faces, and complimentary speeches, and professions of profound love and 'admiration. Her eyes haVe a wonderful faculty of turning to goko whatever they look' upon. Human nature must seem to her to have been formed for the special purpose of expressing its reverence and love for royalty. Not only do her immediate attendants, courtiers, and such People invariably present to her a smiling face, but she finds that she exercises the same mes meric power en such impersonal objects as newspapers. # • • • • The typical drawing-room man,whom society has at length been able to produce, - after many • years of a laboriously refining process, is a creature who must give women singular no bans about menin general. There are expe riences and circumstances which must neces sarily qualify thesenotions, and of :these" we shall speak presently; but, in the meantime, it is curious to reflect on the impressions of masculine human nature, which a woman would form if she were to judge solely by the men whom slie meets in society. There are women who could never experience a surfeit .• • of ibeaningless courtesy. Their ideal man is a being of more Than womanly sensitiveness and tenderneSs—a man absolutely incapable of . thinking of himself so long as there is a woman near him whose ,merest caprice lie could grat ify--aman living op the smileti Of a woman, and profusely submissive and Courteous to the sei generally. • . # • • • • A quick-witted woman will readily see that all the men around her have not had their special characteristics washed out by the pro cess which produces the typical drawing-room " swell." However courteous and attentive to women they may be, she will understand that the whole consideration of their life is not merely to be able to pick up a lady's pocket handkerchief, or help her with her shawl, or assist her at dinner with ease and grace. `• But she is likely to over-estimate considerably the better qualities of men, from the simple fact that in the presence of a lady, men are in variably on their best behavior. She sees none of the selfishness, the opposition, the jeal ous wrangling and quarrelling Nvhiclt , a man's temper or disposition will drive hint into exhi biting when no lady is present. To her all mon say all good things, and vie with each other in earning her approbation by showing generosity, Impzirtiality4harity, and other ad mirable virtues. She m'ay , call the man who is too ostentatiously courteous to everybody a hypocrite; but she cannot fail to be impressed by the general good will, forbearance and 7kindlinesswhich men (when they are notrivals, and then their weaknesses Lire - excusable) . bit before her. The women round about her she does know. Her relations with them are more intimate. She has met their envious and critical looks; she has overheard their bitter Epeeches; she has been mixed up in their mean and spiteful quarrels. How different is all this from the broad and generous masculine nature, with its temperate and charitable judgment, its good-humored consideration for fallings, its . large-hearted kindliness and mutual courtesy! • ...For her to leave the dining-room for.the draw ing-room is a trial. Belkind'are all noble and manly virtues and excellencies; before her the petty . Seandabmoneering, and envy, and vanity of her companions in the misfortune of sex. There are spiteful sayings said of her • which abe can never forget—which 1\ in rankle in her breast forever. Was there one of these mitered by a man ? Did there ever live a man ,capable of saying such things? No. The bealakr And stronger suseuline nature is, by THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-MLADELO illA• TrESDAY, JANUARY 18. 187.0: its very constittition,labovif .such things: Its strength allows it to he generous,. Dien are lesS spiteful about shiair things than vvotneitfhe cause they have much larger interests' f. stake, which prevent' their placing,lmultie,imPertatiee ' on the petty details of domestic Iffe, The Me.n She:Meets are invariably gob 4 gerieronS, and coluteons. AS she sees then; they are in variably desirous of helping each other at any cost. if they dared to smoke in her presence, they would pick out the very best cigar in their possession to' give . to their , neighbors. -- They never make a bargain disadvantageous to a friend. Instead of selling a worthless gun, a shakyhorse, or a handful of doubtful shares to their cousin' Frederick, a greenhorn who has just come home from India, they, would in finitely prefer to use these articles themselves, and.givelitederick their best advice in buying elsewhere., TAslor their :interpretation of con dficti,.nothing could be. more considerate; or More' nnlike.. the ungenerous Criticisms df rotten. * ' Most wothen have had an intimate acquaint mice with some father, brother, or hitsband; and that e. - ::perience, one might imagine, would qualify their notions of the universal good con duct and• mutual courtesy of men. ',But such treed - not neceSsai by be the'case. How is the woman - to knoW that her husband represents his sex? Is she not just as likely to imagine that he misrepresents it; and, in the event of his possessing a somewhat uncertain temper, is she not certain to contrast his occasional sulk iness or peevishness with the invariable equanimity of all the other men whom she knows ? Indeed; opporttinities Must, constantly occur in which a woman is forced to contrast the bearing of her husband with that of their mutual friends. Such comparisons are very unjust ; for the husband has probably come to consider that, with one woman at :least, he ought to haVe the privilege of being honest:', The husband suffers by the mistake which his wife makes about bleu in general. She fancies be has more weaknesses than other men, simply because she knows more about him than about them. He might turn round and say (though he would not probably con vince her): " Don't you imagine that all' the men you see are invariably so heroic as they appear to be before you. A good many of theme have theories about women which would make • you stare; and most of them consider the forced decorum of their conduct before ladies .a_ frightful nuisance, to which they must - submit for the sake of decency. You can't hear them talk as they go home or as they sit in their club. You don't see them go into childish • rages about cold soup or a missing letter; you don't see them in their own house as they are when your visit is over—orperhips you would think your Conjugal positkilt not the worst in the world. Because they are all pretty speeches and smiles, and nonsensical, extravagant attention towards you, do you imagine that they always Maintain that admire ble attitude ? Don't be a fool, An na Maria; but believe that all men are pretty much alike, and that lam not the only monster in the universe." ' There is something very cruel in the con- ' tempt with which women, as a rule, look Upon a man who is in love. One might have thought that compasSion (which is nearly a-kin to con tempt, howslyer, with many .people) would have been a • more appropriate feeling; but:it cannot, be denied, that a man is never less a ' hero .with the women of his acquaintance than When he is desperately in love with some ,pay ticillar woman. if it be his good fortune' to have inspired a similar attachment in the bosom of the young person who has upset his reason, she, out of all her sex, may be inclined to see something fine and noble in his devo tion ; but your ordinary woman—and', above all, your extraordinary woman; who has some. power of satire, and loves to revenge' the weaknesses of her sex by laughing at ours—cannot help regarding a lover as a rather silly person, who has caught a fever which is about as ridiculous as measles to a grown-up man. In novels the case is quite otherwise; and nothing in fiction attracts the sympathy of woman so - Much as a perfect 'abandonment to a wild and impetuous affec tion, with the' spectacle of a rhetoric-loving venlig, man conquering every difficulty, and Overcoming all manner of obstacles,for the sake of his sweetheart. But in 'actual fife, a man finds himself compelled to keep a strict watch over any exhibitions of affection be may be in dined to indulge in; and if he does not, the women of his acquaintance look upon hiM as a "softy," and shrug their shoulders in a highly humorous way over his folly. As for the modern young lady, she conceals her affection so thoroughly that you would almost imagine she had none. Of Course, there are women of sufficient shrewdness to see that the common attitude of the men who surround them is that of an amia ble hypocrisy—who are qUite alive tathe weak nesses and peculiarities which underlie this pleasant exterior. These women are quick to detect the weak points in their husband's char acter; but to these they extend a becoming tol eration, for they know that their husbands are not worse than other people. They accept the profound homage which is paid to women for what it is worth ; and are not the least blinded to the fact that the gentlemen who have,during a long evening, been distinguishing themselves by their extraordinary courtesy, : 7 may'.have been merely playing the role which society gives them, and that, in their own private and domestic life, they may not be so very different from the much more plain-spoken persons whom these ladies call their husbands. ' The connibti sense and penetration of this sort of woman would constituteler a terrible satirist, if her knowledge did not teach -her-a kindly toleration. She has a wonderful tact in detect ing the presence of dullness, when dullness en deavors to shelter itself behind silence and cir cumspection. She can instantly distinguish between the man who dresses and talks in a commonplace and fashionable way, because that is the habit 'of' • the' people with whom be mixes, and because he does not care to be amusing to people who would only be surprised or puzzled by his wit, and the man who hides his stupidity behind a shirt-front similar to that worn by other men and behind an air of indifferent languOr. Such a woman is never a worshipper of those manly qualities which are peculiar to the herd of the boarding-school girl and the lady novelist. She is not much of an admirer of brute force per se. She is more than likely to conceive a positive detestation for the large, stolid, small-brained, self-willed, and selfish idiot of six-feet-two, who is so much adored by women of a certain phrenological development. In her estimation, manliness does not consist ,in combining the tastes of a groom with the dress of a gentle man; and if there is anything she is likely to abhor, it is a display of that fine confident be lief in the power of mere male size to captivate women which-is the-sole: 'creed of known hero. If her girlish imagination has led her to marry some such mint, his position some dozen years after is not tb be envied. But it must not be supposed for a moment that we complain of this system of gentle hypocrisy, which ma n y so far influence the judgment of the majority of women in regard ing men. In itself it is the highest compliment ' men can pay to women. Even as the lion, in innumerable legends, forgot his real nature, and crouched submissively before an innocent girl, so do men leave behind them selfishness, arrogance, and anger on entering the presence of women. If they are not exactly what they pretend to be, it is comforting to reflect that they know they ought to be something dif ferent from what they are. If the influence of feminine society does nothing more than cause them to - assume; pro- tem., a gentleness, .and: toleration and politeness of demeanor which are not exhibited 44 them elsewhere, it has al- ready, done much. But we should like to know ',ybethei women take men at their word- 7 whether they accept as normal' the conduct of.. mef► in ladies' society, anti whether the form their opinions of men in general upon, this by pOtbesis. In such a case as;we, have pointed eut,a..husband is likely to suffer kin an;unjust comparison. rßorbsAlm. FFICE OF THE COMMISSIONERS O FAIRMOUNT PARK, NO.. • 224 . SOUTH.

The Road starts at one of the 'most flourishing cities on the Northern Mississippi river, and runs In a North westerly direction upthe great rich Cedar Valley, con necting at prominent points along the line with six. dif ferent Railroads, now in active operation, nearly all of which must be, snore of ess; tributary or feeders to this Road. This enterprise is destined to become, in connection with others now in operation or being constructed, one of the great trunk lines from Lake Superior, via St. Paul, Cedar Rapids and Builinsidn, to St. Louis, end to the East, over the Toledo, Peoria, and Warsaw, and the Pennsylvania Railroads. which we present. But aside from this, the populous condition of the country along the line of this road, its great Pristluctlve nes and wealth, give sufficient guaranty of a good local business, which, for any road, is the best reliance or BUCCe99. A good index of the prosperity and wealth of the country through which this road passes may bo found in the fact that the Company report over a mil lion and a quarter dollars subscribed and expended by individuals residing along the tine in pushing on one hundred and sixty miles of the work, and it also a btrong proof of the local opularity and no:tn:lt for amnia(' .

The largest is 350 feet in diameter, measuring from the foot of the bank On One side to 'the foot On the Other. There is a ditch on the inside which goes entirely around, with the exception of 20 feet osi the south side, left for a roadway. From the top of the bank to the bottoM of the ditch is 224, feet, and in some -places the water -Was 44 feet deep.

From he .l . 4 avannah (Ga :News, Jan. 13.) During the past two weeks Admiral Bu chanan, of the late-Confederate- Navy. visited our city, while on a pleasure tour through the South. While in savannah a most unexpected, but pleaSant, occurrence took place,' :It was at the Gulf Railroad office. Three persons,, coin fades on the sea, and comrades in both the service of the United and _Confederate States, happened to meet without any previous un derstanding or. ; agreement. These persons, so distinguished rn the annals of our country's history, and to whom we allude,-were Admi ral Buchanan, au officer of the Confederate Navy, his old friend, both officially and so cially, Commodore Tatnall, - amd the third one, who is, perhaps, to-day more loved amongst the old officer of tie United States Army than any one who joined their fortunes to the cause of the South. We allude to General Joseph E. Johnston. Certainly this meeting must have hemimost cordial under such circumstances. Politics were not discussed ; reminiscences of the past were brought up. while many a happy joke and hearty laugh were indulged in. Comradt. who died in the harness, those identified with both airnies, were feelingly alluded to; their virtues praised and their faults forgiven. And thus for one hour these veteran soldiers and sailors recited their many exploits on sea and on land, and in parting, each one seemed im pressed with the occasion, and seemed to feel that, considering the age of each and the to of their homes, that it was, perhaps, the last time they would meet together. DIVORCES. The Laws of the Churches. (From the Toledo (Ohio) Corumercittl,l Protestant Episcopal Churcli—No minister is allowed to solemnize matrimony. in' any Case where there is a divorced husband or wife if either party be still Bring ; but this is not to apply to the innocent party in a divorce for adultery or to parties once divorced seek ing to be united again.• , • , Catholic Church—Divorce, except as to bed and board, not recognized in any case ; and no divorced party can - be remarried while the other is living.. • .Presbyterian—Divorce recognized for 'adul tery only, the innocent party to be allowed to remarry. We understand this to be the posi tion of the reunited Church, as it was of the recent branches. We think most, if not all other,..Prebyterian Churches adhere to the same rule. Methedist—Sukstantially the same as Pres byterian. Congregational—This denomination having no conunon authority except the Bible. each separate church determines such matters for itself, under the advice and counsel of associa tions; but we think there is little difference in practice in it, the rule of - Presbyterian and Methodist Churches being the one followed. Baptist-Like the Congregationalists, the Baptists have -no eeclesiastical authority, each church deterreining all questions for itself. The practice, however, is substantially the same as that of the three preceding denomi nations, the Bible rule being the guide. —A New Haven Republican refuse,s to have his child vaccinated unless he has proof that the vaccine ie not taken from the arm of a Democrat. - -Mexico boasts eleven mints for coining purposes, nine of which are farmed by_private individuals, and two are worked by GOVern ment officials. —Pope Pius the Ninth distinguishes the Spanish Bishops, beyond all others, by the most marked attentions. He treats the French and German prelates, with the exception of the few Ultramontanes among them, with marked coldness. - Philadelphia Sank Statement.
