Concerning Miss Lille Mabel Hodg kins.
the young lady amanuensis who recently &C.
companied the Rev. w. 81. 81. Murray alone
to the Adirondacks, and whose name has
been unfavorably connected with his in the
public prints, the following facts have been
obts:ned: Miss Lille Hodgkins and her
sister Viola kept house and lived together at
one time at No. II Worcester street. Mr..
Murray always called Lille Mabel, because,
as he said, he didn't like the name Lille.
An employe in the Golden R1le office
says: II had been at the Golden Rule office
two weeks when Miss Hodgkins came there
as photographic amanuensis of Mr.. Muir
ray. She was a very pretty girl, stylish and
entertaining, and her age was about %
years. MIR. @. 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 wa
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, 1878, and was written
from Montreal previous to the anticipated
Orange riot.

At about the same time this letter was re-
ceived Mr.. Murray received another letter
from lady artist who had painted picture
Of one of his horses. This last letter is as
follows
When soul finds soul, that moment is fore
taste of heaven. No machinery of human in
vention can bring it about. Even a legion of
popes or priests or bishops never could and
never can make q perfect union of soul with
soul and spirit with spirit. No, when heart il
nestlhs 10 heaVC anu soul IS welded 10 soul,
then the infinite being whose name is Love has
been the true aut or of such a union. Wher
ever shall go l shall carry my joy with me.
Nobody can take my treasure from me.
should love to stay if the dear one needed me,
but am not needed here. June may aoon
come, and then little passage bird must go to
the two old darling. Next year by this tine
| the twig may be away from the noble oak. May
! they not commune with each other at lea t two
| or three times before parting? wish l might
Danish all pain and mourning. Unseen will
whisper kind good morning.
