AT Coventry had the rare enjoyment Of
visiting my old friend, Rev. Piny Ii, White,
at his library, and was permitted to examine
the old books and pamphlets relating to Yer.
mont and Vermunters, which he had gathered
together at great expense of time ard money.
Ills collection of old and rare sermons and vau-
able publications, the product of Vermont
minds and the Vermont press, is the most e1'
tensiVe and eclectic of any IN Vermont The
chaotic mass of literary matter which Henry
Stevens of Barnet, the old antiquarian, has
collected ut The Medical College, Burlington Is
greater III variety aud bulk, out NJ. Whites
collection is more methodlcally arranged and
admirably selected. lie has recently written
The History OF Coventry which 10 model IN
Its way Tor historical research and concscne"
tie has real some admirable historical papers
before the Vermont Historical Society, which
have been published and disseminated ar ana
near. Mr White, while doing all this, and
preparing for publication history of rhs Con-
sregational Churches and their Pastors, has
neglected no branch of duIy when has devoved
upon him as pastor of a large and HARMONIOUS

patriotism will awaken fresh regrets for the
death of this noble soldier and true mau.

Homeless.

1t is cold dark midnight yet listen
To that pa,ier Of tiny feet
Is it one Of your dogs, fair lazy,
Who whucs ia the bleak cold street =
Is it one OF your silken spani'ls
shut out in the snow ard sleet
My dogs sleer warm in their baskets
safe from the darkness and snow;
All the beasts n our Christian England
Find pity wherever they GO
(Those are only the homeless children
Wh) are wandering to ard fro).
Look out in the gusty darkness
Ihayo seen it again and again,
That shadow that fits so slowly
Up and down past the window pane j.
1t is surely some criminal lurking
Out there in the frozen rain ?
Nay, our criminals all arc sheltered,
They are pitied and taught and fed;
That is only sister woman,
Who has got neither food nor bed
And the Night cries" sin to be living"
And the River cries Z" sin to he dead.'
Look out at that farthest corner
Where the wall stands blank and barre
Can that be lack which pcddler
Has left and forgotten there
His goods lying out uusheltered
Win be spoilt by the damp night air.
Nay goods in our thrifty Englanl
Ar, not left to lie and grow rottec,
For each man knows the market value
or silk or woJlen cation.
But in counting the riches OF England
think our Poor arc forgotten.
Our Beasts and our Thieves and our Chattels
Have weight for COED or for i'll
But the Poor are only His image,
His presence, His word, His will
And so Lazarus lies at our doorstep
And Dives neglccts him still.

March and April, 1862, and few days after
his arrival North, died, and tho money which
he had retained as Assistant Treasurer in New
York, about seventy-fve thousand dollars, is at
his credit. Consequently, it cannot be drawn
from there until his accounts are settled. The
money is safe, and cannot be used for any other
purpose than that for which it is placed there
My opinion is, that the State had better ad
vance the money to pay the allotments, and make
IA claim on the Ireasur OF the Uuited States.

a corresp pUnLent Of the Chicago Tribune,
fixes our loss in killed, wounded and miss

10 200, aud that of the rebels At about 10
600. Other accounts place our loss as l,w
as 4C0O. We will have to wait for official
reports to ascertain or exact loss. Beaure-
gard has made a stand at Cyrinth, and We
may ahtjcipate another bloody battle at that
place. a desperate battle will probably
take place during the present week at York

large army behind strong f5rtifcat;ons.
Gen. Mcclellan Is already in front Of their
