Mrs. Malsprop's Successor.

Mrs. Hudson, wife of the English rail. way king assailed by Carlyle, was a worthy successor of Mrs. Malaprop Here are two stories of her related by Mir. Vernon Heath in his "Recollec. tions:" MT. Hudson had issued cards for an evening party ito meet the Duke of Wellington" The night arrived, the guests assembled and the rooms were crowded, but no duke, though at a late hour his grace arrived, when Mrs. Hud- son, who was ready to receive him, said, "Oh, duke, you are so late, and have been so anxious, for tonight, you know, you are my prima donna!"
 Desiring to visit the celebrated Bridgewater gallery, at the residence of Lord Ellesmere, Mrs Hudson was duly shown the treasures of art there collect ed. In passing through the corridor, where much beautiful sculpture is OK. hibited, the visitor was struck by bust of Marcus Aurelius. Addressing the housekeeper, she inquired, And who may this be-" That is Marcus Aurelius, ma 'am." "Oh, indeed.' said Mrs. Hud. son; father of the present marquis, presumew-Argonaut.

 But he was overdoing 1t. Nobody was deceived.

 Don't call me any pet names here," he whispered from the side of his mouth. She tried to look unconcerned, but be- came redder in the face every moment. He essayed to look savage, but made a distinct failure of it.
 "Er-lovely morning." he suddenly observed aloud, with sickly attempt at nonchalance.
 "Yes--yes, my--r'--
 ssh! Don't call me any pet names. Why, you'd give us away in minute" !"
 He assumed feeble imitation of lofty indifference. She seemed about ready to sink through the floor.
 "George," very softly.
 He tried to frown prodigiously, with only indifferent success.
 "I think" extremely pianissimo, everybody is looking at us"
 He was uneasy, and his hands were much in his way. But inspiration came st last.
 Ut doesn't seem," he suddenly ex- claimed very audiby, the look of in- credulity on his face was fair simu- lation of tho real thing, "as if we had been married four years, does it?"
 "N-no, George"
