I Will Come to Jesus.
Just as I am, without one plea
But that thy blood was shed for me,
And that thou bidet me come to thee,
0 Lamb of God, I come !
Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot--
To thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
0 Lamb of God, I come !
Just as I am—poor, wretched, blind—
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need, in thee.to, find,
0 Lamb of God, I come !
Just as I am—though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doibt,
Fightings within and fears' without,'
0 Lamb of. God, - I come I
Just as I tan, thou Wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, deanin, retivre, '
Because thy promise I believe
0 Lamb of God, 1 coma!
Just as lam thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier' down;
Now to be thine, yea, eh:onion%
0 Lamb of God, I come!

Jaeoles , Partiality.—Gen. xxxvii: 3.
The beloved Rachel is dead, and the bc--
reamed huaband rests from his journeyings
at the home of his father. The memory of
the deceased, the power`of association called
up by the quiet of his native land, and the
remarkable character of the eldest son of
her, of whom, in an age of polygamy, we
hear the endearing words, "my zzA,' —all
combine to-lead Jacob to have an affection
for Joseph abovathat which he had for any
other of his children. Whether be thought
to make hini the heir othis,lts he had been
made of his father's estate and blesiing, and ,
thus constitute him the head and ruler of
his house, we cannot tell. There seems,
h _mover, to be something of a worldly policy
and influence as a ground of action.
"Jacob dwelt in the land of 'his father's
sojournings." This seems to -intimate the
great idea of Jacob in his treatment of the
son of Rachel. After his long exile and
many wanderings, betakes much t3atisfaot on
in a worldly possession and a fixed residence;
and he fixes -his eye upon the best means of
giving unity, stability and greatnese tO his
family. Joseph is- the eldest son of his wife,
for she alone he recognized as such from
choice and affection; he is born after all his
other children 'except Benjamin, and thus
not only as the eldest 84)E1 of the only Wife
of his own choosing, but, as the ;stay of 'de
clining years, he might call him' " the son
of his old age;" and he , is' o remarkable for
his wisdom, and piety; and other =traits of
character which the father levee, that , he
felt, as . David in . ; `a later age for Absalom,'
that he could say " my son" almost as if he
had no- other children. •
These feelings, for which Jacob considers
he has ample reason, led him to err in man
ifesting the fondness of his affections, and
in exhibiting apparently the beginnings of
plans for the prometion of "the sort of his
old age." The coat of divers " colors ". or
pieces with• which he • clothed him, was as
significant and:as ominous of gooier evil, as
the purple in the age of the thews, to the
man chosen by the army or the mob to be ,
emperor of the Roman world. Joseph, not
yet beyond, his twentieth Year, must be more
than young men generally'arei to:esceire the
pride, indiseretion and unbrotherly .conduct
to which ',his fatheeti coarse would '
..tempt
him. His dreams were preter-natural, but
the wealth and power - of his father, and the
clear intimation that , all this Would piss over
to him as the•chief heir, would not unlikely
make him willing on all oceasions to declare
hie felt superiority. Therefore,- while we
see a Providence in the dreams, we see evi
deuce of human infirmity in' the "conduct
which led Joseph, by telling his dreams and
"by his words,'to indicate his felt pre-'emi
nence., The evil is increased by the fact,
that the father attentively " observed" that
dream of advancing greatness, upon which .
it is dangerous for the -young to dwelb, es
pecially if promotion': is thought to come
without the use of .well , plied, and perhap3
unpleasant means. '',But:alas'fOr< fallen hu
manity l The evil stops not with th e favoii=e
son. It extends to the '
entire brotherhood,
in proportion to their selfishness'and to the
hopes they have of "attaining pre-eminence
in the affection Of, their 'father.
In a broad and fertile plain, about twenty' .
miles North of Sheehem, on' a green and
beautiful hill, stood ancient Dothen. Thithei
the sons of Jacob haddriven.theinflooks in'
quest of richer pasture. Thr6ugh thy.val.
ley lay the caravan routs to Egypt from the
Northern part of the land of . Gilead. Here
the youthful . Joseph found his brethren.
He had traveled more than twenty.five
leagues, at his father's request, to inquire,
concerning their health, and the state of the
flocks. While he was approaching with,
joyful and unsuspicious heart, his hrothere,.,
full of envy and haired,' were Plannirii his
destruction. ' Prone the character of Simeon,
as a leader in the destruction of the city of
the Hivites, (Gen. xxxiv : 2, 26,) and from
Joseph's treatment of him afterwards; (Gen.
xlii : 24,) we may well suppose to be
the most active plotter in this wicked eonclaVO
of brothers. The others, except Reuben,
all assent at first to the counsel of Simeon,
to slay at once him whom they contemptu
ously call "the dreamer." They, however,
yield to Renben's entreaty to shed no blood,
so far as to cast him intata'deeto and empty
pit. Like a storm from the desert, the wrath-
ful words , of infuriated' hrOthers fell' upon ,
the ears of Joseph as hespproached; he was.
stripped .of the coat which fold ,of his, fatk;
er'e affection, and was rudely let down into
a cistern now emptied by the burning Suet
mer sun of Palestine.
Reuben retires to arrange his plane for
his brother's rescue. He thus acts, either
because depmvity•When shown to be deep in
one aspect will not appear so bold in another,
or because by such a noble deed he hoped
to atone for a former •crime by which he
justly forfeited the iiffectiohe of an indulgent
parent. Meanwhile, Providence joins an
other link to•the great chain. Merchants,
from among the deedendante,of • Abraham by
Hagar and Keturah, approaehed. As they
have not yet become one people, they are
known both as the descendants of Midian
and Ishmael. Their arrival gave 'occasion
for the exhibition of the prominent trait of
Judah's character. He loved power and
pre eminence, but if possible he would' . avoid
cruelty. A milder course ‘ppeared to him
more politic. His plan, presented :in such
bland words as he knew well ,how to use,
is accepted by those :brothers mho had
„thought AnIY of , the, .bkod I„of
••tiV:ariiigkebargaiiiii struck : with •thel leads"
of the company of traders for another
slave. Twenty • pieces of silver, or the
price of twenty lambs of the ileac, is
agreed upon; as the slave has been unruly
and must be lifted from such a prison as
herdsmen can find upon an emergency. The
tears of a brother are unheeded. He must
be content, with silent grief, and escape from
death by the hand of brethren, into slavery.
He dare not reveal the cruel plot by which
-he, the favorite son of a prince, is sold as
the most worthless among slaves.
The deed now being done, the brother
sold into slavery having gone out of sight;
and Reuben standing 'before them with '
"rent garments," and in tears uttering the
words, " The child is' not, and whither
shall l go r' Whit must have been the
feelings' of 'this guilty brotherhood I Did
they repentell 'However conscience may have

other,so,much,' that tthey deemed it too late

Am. Messenger
This case results to the guiltY, isallthose
acts where :good is expected from 'wicked
means: • The father refuses to be comforted,
and fixes his hereaved.heart, more firmly, if
possible, ;upon young Benjamin than he, had
done upon Joseph. He shows A want; of
confidence , in them, •: by never committing
his favorite, son to their care. , They wish ,
not to, meet their father .often,, es, his :Sad,
countenance reminds ,them of their crimes. •
Mistrust gradually seizes. their minds , in.7re
gard to each other. ,Judah drives his ilnoks
to one part Of the land, (Gen. ixxviii:` 12,)
and the , other brethren to other parts.. Never
until the famine years come, and they.begin
to be in west, do they meet for mutual sym
pathy and common 'ecitusel. Thrig, while
the partiality of the father, the imprudence
sind'pride of the son, and the cruel envy of
brothers have not, ev,en-handed : justice at
once meted: nt ; yet, we see enough,,without
seeing the end, to learn that sin will not so

God is seated.high- above the 'edging cur

An interesting paragraph. in Mr. 'Set's'
report refers to a peculiar quality of Cotton
believed to be indigenous to:Western Africa :
".Cotton of the best and finest kind "ever
saw, may be raised with very little expense
and in any quantity. A variety > whieh
abounds among the Goulabs differs from any
I ever knew in the West Indies, and de
serves-; particular mention in this report.
Instead of one seed here and there found
in the boll, to which the fibre °lingo, the
Goulah cotton produces much larger,,rislier
bolls, and there are seven seeds. - se 'in

compacted together, like tWiriiivis Of Peas
