A RELIC of the Great Fire Of London
has been found at Eastcheap. The fire
of 1866 is said to have begun in Pudding
Lane and ended in Pie Corner, and the
identical spot where the fire originated
is pointed out by an inscription on an
old stone recently unearthed in the cell
lars OF warehouse in Pudding Lane.
The inscription runs as follows: Hare
by ye permission of Heaven He'll broke
loose upon this Protestant Citye from
the malicious hearts of barbarous pa
pists by ye hand of their agent Hubert,
who confessed and on ye Ruines of this
place declared the Fact for which he
was hanged witt, That here began
that Dreadful Fire which is described
and perpetuated on and by the neigh
bouring Pillar Erected Ammo 1881 in
the Mayeraltie of Sir Patience Word,
Kt." The stone was face downward-a
proof that it had remained undisturbed
for two centuries. Some coins were
near the stone, and probably Hubert's
skeleton is not far of. The pillar re-
ferred to is. Of course, the monument on
Fish Street Hill, on which the inscrip-
ton accusing the Roman Catholics, after
being erased and restored, was finally
effaced in 1881. This stone, although
now broken in half, is Of considerable
historic interest, and Is certainly worthy
Of preservation.

NEATNRss AT HoME.-Most young
girls, nowadays. desire to marry rich
husbands, and, in view of that pleasant
destiny, neglect to fit themselves for the
humble walks of life. In the country,
we admit that girls are sometimes
brought up with an idea Of work, and
with a suspicion that each may chance
to wed a sober, steady, good looking,
industrious young man, who will be
compelled to earn by severe labor the
subsistence of himself and family. But
city girls rarely cherish such lowly
ideas. From the highest to the lowest
class in life, the prevailing idea with all
is, that marriage is to lift them, at once,
above all necessity for exertion; and
even the servant girl dresses and reasons
as if she entertained q romantic con-
fidehce in her Cinderella-like destiny
of marrying, if not a prince, q wealthy
man, at least. 1t is becsuse girls cher
ish these false ideas that young men
are afraid to marry. Theyoung women
they meet with are all so imbued with
notions Of marriage SO utterly incom-
patible with the ordinary relations Of
life in their station; they are so wholly
inexperienced in the economy of the
household; they have been taught, or
have taught themselves, such q noble
disdain" for all kinds of family industry,
they have acquired such expectations Of
ladylike ease and elegance in the matri-
monial connection, that to wed any one
of them is to secure lifelong lease Of
domestic unhappiness, and purchase
wretchedness, poverty, and despair.

Brides at the Exhibition.

OF all the people who live at the Cen
tennial hotels, says a letter-writer, 1
think the newly married Gouples-Phil-
adelphi is full of them, by the way-are
the only ones who are thoroughly con-
tented and happy. 1t makes no differ
ence to them whether the potatoes are
watery. the meats dry, or the soup thin;
and they don't care pin whether peo-
pie talk to them or not They live in
little world of their own, and for a time
what pity that it's SO short time
they need no conversation but their own,
have no thought but for each other.
We have all sorts of newly married cou-
pies here now, but notwithstanding the
many various stations in life which they
occupy, and the different parts of the
country from which they come, they all
act wonderfully alike. They all have
certain marks about them which can be
Immediately detected by even an un-
practiced eye. In the first place, it is
noticeable that they all try to act as if
being married was an old story to them,
and still for the life of them they can't
help taking each others hands every
five minutes. Among other things it is
remarkable that the young men, on the
old principle that ga fellow can't wed
every day" are very extravagant with
their money. They are evidently
Sgainst the wishes of the prudent little
helpmates. Another thing which have
noticed is that the brides nearly all wear
new watch-chains, the young husbands,
especially those from the West, are very
hO,,A Ahasr r1ox-a,
upon the warmest and most oppressive
day they carry a heavy shawl, in case
such a covering should be needed by
the dear woman they have sworn to pro-
tect. The patronizing air of ownership
which the young men assume is truly
remarkable, while their attempts to an
swer the many questions asked by their
wives are sometimes very amusing. One
incident will illustrate this A few
days ago in the main building bright
looking Western farmer and an inno-
cent faced little woman who had evi-
IDENTIFY just become his wife, approached
the music stand. At the same moment
the band began to play the opening pas
sage of "The Waking of the Lion"
The little bride listened to the music
for moment, and then looking conf
IDENTIFY up into the face of her lord and
master, she pressed his arm and whis-
pered "What piece are they playing,
Charley?" For moment Charley was
puzzled, but he had just become a hus-
band, and evidently seeing the impor-
tance of maintaining the dignity of the
position, he quietly drew that confding
little woman aW from the stand. saw
ing, "Oh, it's not piece at all they
are just tuning up like" And of course
she believed him.
