THE FIRST SPIRITUAL TEMPLE
A Notable Structure in Boston.

In the very heart of the fashionable
portion of the Hub, in close contiguity
to the Hotel Vendome, Trinity church
and Copley square, writes a Boston
correspondent of the New York
Tribune, nearly completed new
building is attracting the attention of
observers. Its whole appearance is
extremely odd, as it bears no resem-
blance whatever to church, museum,
school-hOuse or place of business. 1t
is simply unique, although the
architecture is said to be of the
Romanesque order. 1t is square.
120 feet in height from the sidewalk
to the top of the cupola, and has
dormers and gables in the roof. The
windows are irregularly disposed and
of different sizes, as though they were
arranged hap-hazard to light apart
ments, at convenience, without regard
to outward symmetry. The locality
of the building is at the corner of
Exeter and Newbury streets. Over
the arched entrance on Exeter street
is written First Spiritual Temple
in carved letters, intertwined with
delicate traceries of foliage. 1t is, in
fact, the first place the Spiritualists
have ever owned where they could
publicly practise the forms and tenets
of their peculiar belief. Unlike other
religious sects of the United States,
they have been poorly provided for
In this respect; they have convened in
hired halls, or private parlors, or
wherever it has CHANGED to be in keep
ing with their pecuniary ability.
Very shortly this state of affairs will
be changed for the Spiritualists of the
New England metropolis, at least,
through the generosity or Mr.
Marcellus S. Aver, a wealthy bachelor
and well-known wholesale grocer on
State street in this city. He has been
a believer in Spiritualism for many
years, but only four or five an active
exponent of its doctrines. A few
months ago he determined to erect q
suitable building for the use of his
fellow-believers, and the magnifcence
of his gift can be estimated when it is
stated that it will cost when finished
$4,000.
The chief material of the exterior
of the temple is light gray stone with
trimmings of dark red granite. A
belt of exquisite carving runs around
the building at the top of the first
story, and extended vine of flowers
and leaves, more than a foot broad,
and in two oval spaces of the red
stone, one on either side of the entrance
are carved symbols of the spiritualistic
faith. The basement is devoted to q
free reading room and library of books
written by the most noted writers on
spiritualism; Sunday school room
capable of seating 500 persons, Offices
and toilet rooms. The main story is
one grand auditorium, q cheerful,
bright room, with frescoed walls,
painted windows, an organ, a plat

HUSBANDS MIXED UP.
Wife Collects Insurance and
Buries the Husband OF a
Namesake,

A cusious case, in which the
Willard Asylum authorities are some
what mixed up, has just come to light
at Washington. About four years
ago there lived in this city Harrison
Becker, a somewhat noted sporting
man. Becker married daughter of
one of our well-known citizens, and
all went smoothly until 1881, when
he was taken sick. His sickness left
him hopelessly insane. His friends
had him placed in an asylum at Utica,
and afterwards, about two years ago,
he was removed to Willard Insane
Asylum, where his condition was
stated by the authorities from time to
time to his relatives here. In Oct
ober, 1884, Mrs. Becker received a
letter from j. B. Chaplin, of the
asylum, saying that her husband had
been in bed for two months and was
failing, and asked what should be
done with the remains in the event
of his death, Mr.. Chaplin was notified
that the remains were to be sent to
WATERFOWL, and was requested to
notify those interested here, so that
they could 60 to the asylum to take
charge of the remains. On July %,
1884, Becker's brother received 8 let
ter from Chaplin sayingtha his con-
dition was unchanged. Nothing more
was thought of the matter until lately
when the reports from Mr.. Chaplin
ceased.
One of Mr., Becker's relatives then
visited the asylum and found that he
had died on July Oath, and that on
an order purportipg TO come from
Becker's wife the remains had been
sent to Schenectady, where they were
inferred. An investigation was at
once begun, which showed that j. B.
Chaplin, of Willard Asylum, wrote to
Mrs. Harrison Becker, at Schenectady,
under the impression that she was the
wife of the deceased, saying that he
had been directed to send the remains
to WATERFOWL. and that if they were
sent to Schenectady she must pay the
express charges. This brought a re-
ply from DR.. w. L. Pearson, of that
place, guaranteeing the expenses of
transportation. The asylum authors
ties assuming that everything WIS all
right, sent the body there, and Ger
man benevolent society paid the
funeral charges. The husband of
Mrs. Becker, of Schenectady had a
small life insurance in the same So
ciety, which was paid to the
supposed widow. 1t now traDspIres
that the deceased was not the husband
of the Schenectady woman, her hus-
bands name being Frank Becker. She
has, however, received the life snsur-
ance on her husband, who is supposed
to be still living in the asylum, and
has buried the husband of Mrs. Har-
rison Becker, of Watertown. Beck
er's relatives here are willing to 60 to
Schenectady and disinter the remains,
bringing them here for burial.

REFORMING A HUSBAND.
How a Toledo Woman Cured an
Appetite for Drink.

William Matphin is mechanic re-
siding iii the upper part of Toledo,
who would have been a most excellent
husband and father were it not that
the demon drink had full possession
of him. The very best of men are not
good when possessed of this devil,
despite the ingenious reasoning of a
man with a rubicund nose who at
tempted to support the habit by
specious reasoning. His process was
like this: Man in bis natural state is
decei.ful and desperately wicked.
A man in liquor is not in a natural
state. ard. therefore, there must be
an improvement in him. However
plausible this may seem, it does not
work out properly. Mr.. Matpain.
wnen in liquor, was ugly and
venomous, and he kept in liquor with
such steadiness that his business was
leaving him, and he was going to the
dogs with great rapidity and precision.
The poor man knew the danger
that enveloped him and tried
desperately TO break the chains that
bound him. But all In vain. The
desperate, constant craving was too
much, and it was impossible for him
to 90 out without coming home in a
condition shocking to behold.
He vowed and vowed and vowed,
but be broke his VOWS just as regularly
as he made them. That terrible first
driBk always Overcame him and made
way for a second, and so on to inc
briefly.
About six weeks ago he was
brought home in a state Of insensibili-
ty at 10 in the morning. Mrs.
Matphin, who was a strong and
muscular woman, had him conveyed
to room on the second floor of his
house, lack. Then depositing him on
the bed, she pondered and went for
carpenter.
my dear" she murmured to her.
self, This has been going on long
enough. This house is from this time
on an inebrJate asylum, run on Mrs.
Matphin's ideas"
While Mr.. Matphin was peacefully
sleeping, there were extraordinary
things going on. A wicket which
would just admit tray was cut in the
door, aud tie door was nailed and
boarded up, so as to be beyond Mat
phin's strength to break it. Then
bed was brought up and placed in the
hall across the door, and Mrs. Mat
phin, with base hall club convenient
sat in rocking-chair and calmly pur-
sued her mending.
At about Mr.. Matphin awoke
and looked wildly around.
"Are you awake, my dear?" asked
bis spouse.
"Yes, what time is it?"
"About 4 in the afternoon.
Gracious heavens / must get

stocking. "You are going to stay
