Concerning Miss Lille Mabel Hodgkins,
the young lady amanuensis who recently ao-
companied the Rev. w. Fl. b. Murray alone
to the Adirondacks, and whose name has
been unfavorably connected with bis in the
public prints, the following facts have been
obtained Miss Lille Hodgkins and her
sister Viola kept house and lived together at
one time at No. 81 Worcester street. Mr..
Murray always called Lille Mabel, because,
as he said, be didn't like the name Lille.
An employe in the Golden Rule office
says: ~ had been at the Golden Rule Office
two weeks when Miss Hodgkins came there
as photographic amanuensis of MIR. Muir
ray. She was very pretty girl, stylish and
entertaining, and her age was about %
years. MIR. G. b. Murray, the brother Of
Preacher Murray, took great pains to trace
the history of Miss Hodgkins' career and
antecedents. 1t was discovered that she had
been dressmaker in Boston, that she was
employed at one time in dry goods store,
and subsequently as waiter girl"
The following letter from Miss Hodgkins
was written at the time of visit to Mon
treal. concerning which there is so much
scandal as regarding Mr.. Murray's relation
with the young lady. The letter bears the
postmark of July 10, 1873, and was written
from Montreal previous to the anticipated
Orange riot:
II A. NJ, Wednesday-Contrary to instruc-
tions, send you word to-day, feeling per-
haps you will be in B. to receive it. A. has
gone into the country q don't know where) tn
be gone till tomorrow night, and fear longer.
He went at o'clock this morning, before your
letter came. The people fear a good deal for
the 18th. Martha had arranged to go away out
of town tomorrow night to be gone till Satur-
dav, but shall be obliged to keep her for fear
shall be entirely alone on Friday. God bless
you in your endeavors. If this reaches yon to-
morrow please telegraph me Immediately if
you can be of assistance to me Friday, SO will
know whether to let her 60 or not. She starts
at P. NJ, if at all. Don't worry. From
At about the same time this letter was re-
ceived Mr.. Murray received another letter
from a lady artist who had painted picture
of one of his horses. This last letter is as
follows:
When soul finds soul, that moment is q fore
taste of heaven. No machinery of human in
vention can bring it about. Even legion of
popes priests or bishops never could and
never can make a perfect union of soul>with
soul and spirit with spirit No, when heart is
nesting to heart and soul is welded to soul,
then the infinite being whose name is Love has
been the true autior of such union. Wher
ever shall 60 shall carry my joy with me.
Nobody can take my treasure from me. I
should love to stay if the dear one needed me,
but not needed here. June may soon
come, and then little passage bird must 60 to
the two old darlings. Next year by this time
the twig may be away from the noble oak. May
they not commune with each other at least two
or three times before parting? wish might
Danish all pain and mourning. Unseen I will
whisper kind good morning.
Here follows very singular signature in
Swedish characters, and then follows the
postscript:
MayI = talk with you one
minute Saturday at IL o'clock, or when?
There is vast deal of scandalous gossip
retailed by former female emplove in the
Golden Rule concerning the alleged relations
between Mr.. Murray and the young lady, but
it is not substantiated.
