The Latest Dog Story.
New Zealand paper tells this
A Naw
story : There is a dog at Taupo, and
also a young pig, and these two afford
a curious example of animal instinct
and confidence in the bona fide of each
other. These two animals live at the
native pah on the opposite side of
Tapuaeharuru, and the dog discovered
some happy hunting grounds on the
other side, and informed the pig; be
ing only two months old, he informed
the dog that he could not swim across
the river, whicu at that spot debouches
from the lake. But that in time he
hoped to accompany his friend. The
dog settled the difficulty. He went
into the river, standing up to his neck
in the water, and crouched down ; the
pig got on his back, clasping his neck
with his forelegs. The dog then swam
across, thus carrying his chum oven'
RegutfFly every morning the two
would in this way go across and for
age around Tapuaeharuru, returning
to the pah at night; and if the dog
was ready to go home before the pig,
he would wait till his friend came
down to be ferried over. The truth
of this story is vouched for by several
who have watched the movements of
the pair for some weeks past.

Wha , Science is doing for
Religion.
No one who has paid a serious attention
to tbe progress of the modern sciences.can
entertain a doubt that all the really sub
stantiated discoveries which have been
supposed to contravene Christianity do in
reality only deepen its profundity and em
phasize its indispensable necessity for
man. Never before, in all tbe history of
mankind, has the Deity seemed so riwfffl,
eo remote from man, so mighty in the tre
mendous forces that lie wields, bo majestic
in the permanence, and tranquillity of his
resistless will. Never before has man real
ized his owm excessive smallness and im,-
potence ; his inability to destroy—much
more, to create—one atom or moecule ;
his dependence for life, for thought for
character even, on that material environ
ment of which he once thought himself
the master. The forces of nature, then,
have become to him once more, as in tbe
infancy of his race, almost u terror. And
poised midway, for a few eventful hours,
between «n intiuite past of whicii he knows
a little »nd an infinite future of whieh he
knows nothing,, he is tempted to despair
of himself and of his little planet, and ia

DISCIPLINE.
The discipline is mild and firm, ad
ministered on tbe principle that virtue
brings its own reward and vice its own
shame. The highest incentives to vir
tuous actions are impressed by precept
and'example, while vice and immoral
ity are restrained by all proper means.
Students are taught rather to govern
themselves than to be governed. Moral
power is the principle, an appeal to tbe
head and hea.t, self-government from
Christian motive. Hence no student
can be permitted to remain who indul
ges in card-playing, intemperance, pro
fanity, neglect of studies, or any other
vice or impropriety. Daily moral in
struction based on the Bible, leaves but
little else to be done in government.
MIXED SCHOOL.
Experience has demonstrated con
clusively that mixed schools, under
proper regulations and restrictions,
possess decided advantages over exclu
sive institutions. Young gentlemen
and ladies exerctee a refining, restrain-
iui?i yet stimulating influence over each
other, when associated in the same
school and in the same class, wnich
nothing else can supply. They vie
with each other for the wreath of
honor, as they labor side by side in •
common cause.
