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

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

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.

branches, depot grounds, rolling stock, equipment and

These bonds are ohly issned upon each section of the

This Loan has been selected by our firm anti a thor

no hesitation in recommending it to our friends as a
perfectly safe, profitable and first-class security. Our
opinion is fully continued by the following strong letter

Gent/men : In answer to your request of the Tth
for our opinion us to the condition and prospects of the
Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Minnesota Railway, the
character of thocountry through which it passes, and
the probable success of the enterprise, we would state,
that before accepting the tritst imposed upon us by the
First Mortgage Bonds of this Company. we had fully
satisfied ourselves as to the practicability of the enter•
•
prise.
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

'Ancient Mounds in Indians.
John W. Erwin writes to the Cincinnati
*Gazette.:
"Some time ago I was at Anderson, Madi
son county, Indiana, and in company with
'William G. Ethel!, of that place,went to the
farm of F. Brandenburg, - to examine and
:survey a group of ancient works, which I had
visited many years before, but then had not
time to snake a sketch of them. There are
:seven Mae group. 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. The whole work is covered with
forest trees. - One oak I measured, and found
11 feet in circumference ; a poplar* stump
measured 3 feet in diameter.
" There is at the centre a tunothts 3 feethigh
and 40 feet in diameter, around which, clear of
the ditell,'is a clear space or roadway 50 feet
wide. The ditch is 50 feet wide at the top.
From centre of mound to centre of roadway

circelar works, one 180 feet diameter, with an
opening or gateway to the north,
the other 140 feet diTmeter, with an
opening or gateway, to the southwest. This
work is directly east of the laSt-described work,
and distant 100 feet. . Their banks have been
from 3 to 4 feet high, and ditcDes some depth.
"One-half of the most easterly one is yet in
the forest, and undisturbed by the plow.
There are accurate drawings of these works, to
be presented to the Smithsonian Institution.
The writer knows of the location of two or
three other ancient works, or groups of works,
whch when surveyed will complete all he
JOIOWS of the remain of the mound ' builders
not surveyed In Ohio and Indiana. In modern
times the Delaware tribe of Indlans,the Lenni
Lenapes, had their towns'and villages, near the
works above described. 'Anderson' had his
village is here the town of Anderson now is.

two miles higher upstream, was located' Little

A Chance 7Neetlng of Rebel 0111/eors.
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. -
