Antoine and that of Picpus, is a great market for forage, and at No. 8 in the latter street, is the Maison d'Enghien, founded by the mother of the unfortunate Duke of that name, the Duchess of Bourbon, in 1819, and now supported by Madame Adélaïde d'Orléans; it contains fifty beds, of which eighteen are for women, and the utmost cleanliness and order prevail.
Petit-Picpus had, as we have just mentioned, a Y of streets, formed by the Rue du Chemin-Vert-Saint-Antoine, which spread out in two branches, taking on the left the name of Little Picpus Street, and on the right the name of the Rue Polonceau. The two limbs of the Y were connected at the apex as by a bar; this bar was called Rue Droit-Mur.
Judith might have been tempted to do that sort of thing; she was a Jewess. But a Christian monk! I cannot get over it! The Chevalier de Rohan. He is Born Too Late. His Debts. Messina Ceded to the French. The King of Spain Meditates Revenge. The Comte de Monterey. Madame de Villars as Conspirator. The Picpus Schoolmaster. The Plot Fails. Discovery and Retribution.
First came the Fourth of July, when, in obedience to the old custom which I had known so well in my student days, the American colony visited the cemetery of the Rue Picpus and laid wreaths upon the tomb of Lafayette, the American band performing a dirge, and our marines on duty firing a farewell volley. It was in every way a warm and hearty tribute.
"My sister was about to finish with the creature when a new idea took her, and she said, looking at It as before: 'Of all thy crimes which one is the worst? Speak, I command thee! "Then the fiend told how once It had killed every soul in a house of holy women and buried the bodies in a cellar under a heavy door. "Where was the house? "'At No. 19 Rue Picpus, next to the old graveyard.
The reigning scandal of the day is the affair of the Convent of Picpus. So highly roused has public indignation been by the supposed discovery of atrocities committed within those jealous walls that the people have been peremptorily excluded until the investigations of justice shall be complete.
But he replied that the box was in the sealed room, that it would have to be opened, and that if the objects claimed by the marquise were really hers, they would be safely handed over to her. This reply struck the marquise like a thunderbolt. There was no time to be lost: hastily she removed from the rue Neuve-Saint-Paul, where her town house was, to Picpus, her country place.
The little ones marched with downcast eyes, their arms crossed under their red capes edged with ermine, and behind them, a little in advance of the next group, walked two white cowls, that of a Brother of Picpus, and that of a Trappist who represented the Trappist Sisterhood of La Cour Peytral, to which he was chaplain.
"Will it be worth our while to go so far to see a small cemetery?" "You shall see when we get there." We went part of the way by an omnibus, and walked the rest, and when the morning was nearly spent, we stood before No. 15, Rue de Picpus. The place was once a convent of the order of St. Augustine, but is now occupied by the "Women of the Sacred Heart."
When Joseph was eighteen his sister Pauline left home to enter the convent, and even before that time his brother had gone to Paris to study at the home of the Picpus Fathers. Joseph himself, in accordance with his parents' design that he was to become a business man, went to a town in France called Braine le Comte to learn the rudiments of a commercial career and to study the French language.
