WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKEA HERO.

The true quality OF the hero maiifests
itself IN little things-m meeting with
unruftied patience the minor ills OF life.
preserving n tranquil determination that
no false logic can shake, in refusing to
be upset by the t%rltles, and in Going on
without haste and without rest to the
accomplishment oithe purpose IN hand,
Just as though every breeze was tavor-
able and the final success assured. This
dauntless resolution, this invilcible pa

not found in the lives only ofgreat heroes
like Frederick the Great u Gustavus

THE VALUE OF LABOR

Avoid idleness, and fill up all the spa
ces OF your time with evere and use
full employment; for lust easily creeps
in at those emptinesses where the soul
is unemployed and the body is at ease;
for no easy. h%ealthiul. idle person was ev-
or chaste if he could be tempted. But. of
all the ~employments bodily labor is the
most useful, and OF the greatest benefit
for driving away the devil.

Letter from Hon. Frederick Billings.

The following letter was received by
Hon. Joseph Battell, and, by request, is
handed in for publication:
WOODSTOCK, VT, October 9, 1873.
Hon. Joseph BatteU, Senate, Montpelier.
My DEAR SIR: Returning home after
Il three weeks absence, l find your let
ter of the 9TH inst, and beg to thank
you at once and most heartily, for the
especial and friendly regard which it in
dicates. The United States Senator
ship is a very great Office, and he who
thinks me worthy of it does me a very
great honor. But really, the age of
miracles is coming, if have any chance
for that office in this Vermont contest !!
Offices in these days, generally go to
those who seek them and neglect no
means to secure them. | am averse to
office-seeking, and have an utter repug
nance to the usual arts of Office-seekers.
Besides, in this case, have not thought
of being a candidate, and was not aware
that anyone was thinking of me in that
direction till your note came.
When l was in California, offended
my friends because l refused to go to
the United States House of Representa-
tives, and afterward they said could
be elected to the United States Senate
if would take little interest in the
matter at the State Capitol. But did
not This is as near as l ever will be
likely to get to that high seat. l feel a
profound interest in the political situa-
ton in these days. All sorts of poiti-
cal craft are on the waters, and bearing
down on the republican ship, but have
faith she will beat them all. Butlerism,
communism, reputation, fiat money
and all the manifold heresies must go
under, and l shall be glad to help put
them there. But l can engage in no
scramble for Office, and am content with
the post of private station. Do not,
however, think me Indifferent to your
suggestion, your friendship, or your
vote. See only how much more ambi-
tiOus | am for the success of sound
views and clean methods in politics
than for any personal honor.
Receive my kindest regards, and
share them with those like-minded with
yourself, and believe me, Very sin
cerely yours. FREDERICK BILLINGS.
