The Generous Blec X I'M lth,

A gentleman, by the name of Wilson,
passed late one evening by the shop of q
blacksmith. He heard the sound of q
hammer, and stopped to ask the reason
why he worked so much beyond his usual
time.
II am not at work for myself said
the blacksmith, "but for one of my neigh
bors, whose dwelling was burnt down last
week; be has lost every thing. l mean
to work an hour earlier in the morning,
and two hours later at night, for him. This
is all can do to help him along.'
"This is very kind Of you," said Mr..
Wilson, for suppose your ueighbor
will never be able to pay you again.
II do not expect it, replied the good
blacksmith; !" but if was in his situation
and he in mine AN sure he would do %
much for me, and this little help which /
am to render him is what we may all
need for | know not how soon bis case
may be mine to experience.
Mr.. Wilson thought that he had better
not hinder this good mau any longer; so
he wished him good night, and proceeded
home.
The mex. morning he called again on
the blacksmith, and wishing to reward his
kindness, be offered to lend him ten pounds
withou. any interest, that he might be
able to buy his own iron at cheaper rate,
and undertake more work, and thus in
crease his profits. His surprise was grea.
when the blacksmith said
"sir, thank you, but will not take
your money; l can pay for all the iron |
want at present; and if should want
more, the person buy of will trus: me-
"But if you take this money to some
one else" said Mr., Wilson, "you would,
perhaps, be able to buy cheaper
why, as for that, SIR replied the
smith, II can't say l think it would be
right on my part. know he is fair
dealing man; and when had nothing
could call my own, he trusted me, surely l
ought not to 60 elsewhere now. Keep
your money, Sir; thank you for the
offer-ssop-perhaps you would lend it to
the poor man who was burned out; it
would go far to help him in rebuilding
cottage"
Mr.. Wilson complied with the black
smiths request. The loan Of the money
was very useful to the poor cottager; aud
Mr.. Wilson had the pleasure Of making
two persons happy instead Of one, as he
at FIRST intended aud this simple act Of
kindness was worth mere to the feelings
Of the poor blacksmith than thousands Of
silver aud gold would have been.

Christ:

men should do to yon, do 70 even SO to

PHILADELPHIA, May l2.-The Bulletin
Of this city has the following special des-
patch: 1t is confirmed that IN an order is
sued on Monday, found on some prisoners,
Gen. Lee notified bis army his COMMUNE
cations with Richmond was broken and no
ratjons could be received from there and
he advised them to capture supplies from
our army. a ~
Gen. Grant had captured up to yesterday
about 5000 prisoners. Part of regiment
was captured, of men who had been ex-
changed but few weeks since. PISA
The number of the enemy killed 10 much
greater than ours. His wounded are sup
posed to be about the same. rs. kls
The latest edition of the Star of this p. m.
has the following: Gen. Lee in reported to
have asked for cessation of hOstilitiee, to
bury his dead. Grant replied he had not
time to bury his own dead, and he propos-
ed to advance Immediately.
Yesterday morning the fight was renew
ed Ond continued with varying success nm
til IL O'Clock, when our line had somewhat
advanced.
LATER.-UP to this writing, we have re-
ceived 40 confirmation of the rumor in re-
gard to Gen. Lee a. above mentioned, but
the fact that such report was current in
Fredericksburg yesterday, shows the feel
ing in regard to our position, based upon .
knowledge Of general facts Of hopeful ma
ture. The prisoners captured on Tuesday
and Wednesday numbered over 1000. The
rebel dead and wounded were found COW
ering almost every foot Of ground wherever
our troops surged forward and the rebels
gave way.
The slaughter among our troops was ter
rible, but not SO great ~ that Of the enemy
and but few captures were made by the
latter.

Artillery Massed.

The Worlds special says that Grant
rnassed nearly 400 pieces Of artillery against
Lees position at Spottsylvania c. H., and
fired for over two hours. When the A.
sault was finally ordered, the advancing
columns met but feeble resistance. Lees
line did not wayer until just before the
close of tide battle; then it fell back. and
we gained considerable ground.
NJ The correspondence from Gen. Butler
army contains nothing later Of that Gen.
erals operations than was announced in
his dispatch.
