For the Democrat
How beautiful the sentiment So gracefully express
ed in these lines by Mary Howitt,-

Away with the pleasure that is not partaken
There is no enjoyment by only ta'eh
love, In my mirth, to gadncss awaken
On lips, and in eyes, that reflect it again"
Who will not subscribe TO Is, with all the heart !?
Does hot ali the world, in fact, c,ince the same
cessity for companionsip in hours of mirth, Ivy the
fondness for visiting, family gatherings, and social
parties of every iption? And with those who
have not access TO other companonshp, the pen is
made the means of communication.
How utterly impossible is it for heart filled with
joy to close itself against its feows!-shut up its
happiness within ITSELF aud yet continue to enjoy as
much Like plant deprived of light, it sickens and
fades, and becomes a burden to ITSELF
"Away with the pleasure that is not paraken ~
say l. Why even the babe in its cradle adds to our
Joy, by returning smile for smile,-and puss in the
corner, purrug back her satisfaction is far better
than to have no recipient of our JOY In deep grief
the first impulse of most mind sleads to conceament
not so with joys the heart bounds for sympathy,
and the eyes (those windows of the soul) are fruit
full in expedents for communicating it, What n
wise dispensation of Providence! Were each heart
to conceal its own happiness, what dreary world
were this The merry laugh and gay tones that now
constitute our chief happiness because we are hap
by in proportion others happy would be
unheard. The sympathetic tear would no longer
gsten on the loved ones cheek, for could we ask
sympathy in our sorrow of those in whom we could
not confde our happiness?
An! no. Joy, gratitude, love, friendship, knd all
their sister blessings, would be unknown; cold con-
ventionasin would take the place of free social in
tercourse family ties bccomo frail, and even irk-
some and our le-would it not become weary
Would not death, annihilation, anything that could

Rarian Porcelain.

The question is often asked of what material the
beautiful fancy articles, which have been recently
imported and sold under the name OF Parlan are
In a late letter by Michael Chevalier,
published in the Courier DIES Etatis Unis, he de-
scribes this aud some other kinds of porcelain. We
quote the following from his letter:

pottery with transparent glazing composed princi-

at very low price, and their cheap articles not

ties where it is subject TO excessive duty
The United States at this time receive masses of the
Limoges porcelain. But for the fine pottery, of
which the pipe clay, formerly SO highly esteemed, is
the lowest round of the ladder, England takes the
lead She carries a manufacture OF this kind the
composition of which is much varied its materials
being varousy compounded. This manufacture is
concentrated in moderate number of gigantic estab-
shments, among which will mention those of the
family Of Wedgwood, those of Mr. Mnon, and others
in Staffordshire, and some others near Worcester.
Mr. Wedgwood follows perhaps too faithfully the
traditions of his father, man of great SKILL who
made great advances in the art, and whose name is
known in the two hemispheres, for his ware spreads

What EkOssMth Does.

Since Kossuth's arrival in this country he has done
u most amazing amount of work at speech making
and receiving visitors. Yet this is by no means all
he has done. A New York Correspondent of the
Woonsocket Patriot speaking of him, says:
"Peope out of New York, and great many in
New York, know nothing about his interchangeable la
bors, the comprehensveness of his plans and the
thoroughness with which they carried out to the
minutest details: lie keeps his fellow exss con
served IN all their intercourse. Each man nab his
duty detailed to him, and every night he must hand
in a written report to Kossuth Of his labors during
the day.
"The illustrious Magyar entertans the most I'M
bounded respect and admiration for the people OF the
United States-for their unring irrepresslble ener-
gyther boundess resources their ineXhaustible iert

Nor does he permit his admiration to rest in ingo
rious passveness. He has endeavored TO possess
himself rs far as possible of our inventions and i'm
provemens. Ills aids have been constantly employ
ed in gaining all possible information from ship
builders, machinists, engineers, and manufacturers.
They visit our slIpyards machne-shops and tacto-
res and take notes aud make drawings of every
thing of importance, which carefully put away
for future use.
"Onc example will show how Kossuth attends to
these matters. You have of course heard of Wick
ersllan's Iron Railing works, where wrought irou
rods one fourth of an inch less in thickness, are
woven into elegant patterns OF railing and grating
which can he furnished as cheaply as though nude
of wood. This railing is used to enclose public and
private grounds, or for window guards, balconies
yerundas, banisers, and everything of the kind
Kossuth, appears, heard OF these works and wish
