The Gospel Echo.
True faith. producing love to God and man,
Say Echo, is not this the Gospel plan?
Echo.-The Gospel plan.
When men combine to hate and treat me ill,
Must return them good and love them still?
Echo-Love them STILL
If they my failings carelessly reveal,
Must their fanlts as carefully conceal?
Echo.-As carefully conceal.
But ifmy name and character they tear,
And cruel malice too, too plain appear,
And when I sorrow and af1iction know
They seem to add unto my cup of woe,
Say, Echs, say, in each peculiar case
Must continue,st to love and bless?
Echo.-Still to love and bless.
why Echo, how is this? Thou'rt sure dove,
Thy voice will leave me nothing else but love.
Echo.-Nothing else but love.
Amen With all my heart. then be it SO,
And now to practise I'll directly 60.
Echo.-Directly CO.
This path be mine and let who will reject,
My gracious God will surely n7s protect.
Echo.-Surely me protect.
Henceforth on him I'll cast my every care,
And friends and foes embrace them all in prayer
Echo.-Embrace them all in prayer.
Echo, enough, thy counsel to my ear
Is sweeter than to flowers the dew drop tear,
Thy wise instructive lessons please me well,
Till next we meet again, Farewell, Farewell.
Echo-Farewell, Farewell.

FRENCH RFLED CANNoN.-The following de
scription of the French Rifled Cannon, recently
used by Louis Napoleon with so decided effec1
in his late Italian campaign, and particularly
at Soferino, is translated from La Constitution
published in Yonne, France:
"These guns are bronze four FOUNDER. (diam-
eter of the bore 1916 in.; weight of gun. CSC
lbs.) lighter than the other feld-peices. They
have six deep grooves, and have chamber like
the Delvigne rife, or the old pattern howitzer
The projectile rests against the junction of the
bore and the chambers. 1t is made of cast iron,
cylinder conoidal in shape, similar to the in
fantry musket ball, and is hollow at its base or
rear end. The cylindrical part of the ball is
bored and tapped in six places, to correspond
with the six grooves of the gun, and short tin
plugs are inserted into these holes These plugs
are forced out into the grooves by the pressure
of the gas, and give the ball the rotary motion
and accuracy of the rifle ball. The projectile is
sometimes made hollow and filled with musket
balls, and is exploded at the desired distance.
by means of fuse which is cut at the proper
point, according to the time required for the ex-
plosion. A movable sight is attached to the
right side of the gun. The firing is accurate to
1000 yards, and the extreme range is said to be
two miles and half.
