This latter was founded by St. Vincent de Paul for the bringing up of foundlings, but had fallen into a state of pitiable neglect. From the unnatural treatment which these poor waifs received, the mortality had reached a frightful pitch. It seemed, from Mrs.

That none be taken in but orphans, wanting either father or mother, or both. That no foundlings, or that are maintained at the parish charge, be taken in. That none who are lame, crooked, or deformed, or that have the evil, rupture, or any infectious disease, be taken in.
I had read and liked many of his poems those poems so savagely cut up by Poe, when first published in 1843 and my expressed interest in these foundlings of the Muse gave me the opportunity to meet the author of "A Poet's Hope" at one hospitable table where he was accustomed to sup on a stated evening every week.

All which was sure to end by going before the justice.
They found and cared for him in the great white house where a light burns in the window; there they bring up the children which our women are not able to care for. Let us go down and see what is going on at this time of the night." Lohe and Lihoa went down to the long low orphanage in which the Sisters of Mercy care for a hundred or more foundlings.
But during the reigns of the pagan emperors it was not safe in Rome to insinuate publicly any disbelief in such honoured legends as those of the wolf that suckled the foundlings; the ascent of Romulus into heaven; the nymph Egeria; the duel of the Horatii and Curiatii; the leaping of Curtius into the gulf on his horse; the cutting of a flint with a razor by Tarquin; the Sibyl and her books.
Thornton was plainly irritated. "A home for foundlings, where the proper care will be given it." "Yes, but how?" queried Drusilla. "What kind of care?" Daphne interrupted her father, who was plainly trying to find words to explain the exact meaning of an orphan asylum. "Oh, Father, that's horrid.
