A correspondent Of the National E,td

ing a Submarine cable between Europe aao

the cold water currents Of the north, aud
therefore the increased probability of Law
ing the cable successfully, and also the fact
that the distance between any two poiuts
is less than that between Newfoundland
and Ireland. The writer says
"Ihe distance from bermuda to Fayat
is less than from Ireland to Newfoundland.
The islands stand inyitingly OF the coasts of
Earopc and America They stand as her
culean pillars on which to rest the cable
If wire was laid between them. shorter
ones could he carried to the Old aud New
Worlds. One wire between these isldnds
would serve oil practical purposes for
long time to come. The route by Fagal
would accommodate England With one
wire, France with one, Spain and Portu-
gal with one, and Madeira aud Africa with
one. On our side the Bermuda route
would be convenient for one wire to New
England, one for the Middle States aud
the West, one for the Southern States and
California, one for Cuba and Mexico and
one for the West Indies and South America.
TRoupLEsoME ScHo@ AR Every teacher
knows that there are IA every school few
scholars Of peculiar temperament, who are
always in trouble or are always producing
trouble. They are source ofa increasing
p 'rplexity TO all order-loVing nm ties + til,

while the little ones vent their spite by
making mouths" Whenever one of these
unhappy children crosses the threshold.
While We would do nothing to increase
the number Of troublesome children at home
or at school, yet, we must say they are too
frequently uuder-rated and abused. They
are under-rated because not understood.
their hateful qualities driving attention
from their good ones and abuse necessarily

exterior worth laboFing for-there is on
element Of hcroism, OF goodness, or iutelIi-

humanity infinitely above its present level
That pointing lip and that habtually suiky
countenance may by proper teaching Be:
come the index of soul, full Of all the
good aud noble attributes Of humanity
The world needs to-day ten thousand souls

the N s. ecm JreheRsive christian in.elIi-
gence and excellency to carry on its various
schemes of science literature and benevo-
lence. These schemes have been devised
by few great aud good minds, but they
cannot be put into operation on account Of
the scarcity Of high-mindedness in the hu-
man character
We believe that these moody scholars
can be redeemed. That cloudy brow may
wear sunshine That apparently malicious
heart may be well-spring of Kindness, and
that curse may be changed into Che hum
blest OF belcdictions and praise. One Of
the missions of the teacher is to be instru-
mental in re.instating in childish innoceuse
and cheerfulneSs, those who have fallen into
the troublesome list Perhaps they are
there for the reason that they possess q
quality, excellent in itself highly developed
along side of others but moo erfteIy strons-.
All they need may be equalization, or it
may be, a change Of direction to make
those incessantiy Troublesome elements of
character as incessantly productive Of good
ness. Perhaps, also, If redemption does
not come at tue present time they may be
lost to virtue and intelligence.
