Quite rich scene took place last week
at the Fair. The Queen gave out on FRI
day that she would visit the Fair the next
morning al nine O clock, attended by her
ladies aud gentlemen in waiting, 10 inspect
each department personally, and 10 receive
information from those severally in charge;
consequently there was quite gathering Of
mobiles and citizens from The west end
Afer time the queen arrived at ench
great corner of which, stand in bold relief
the busts of w ashiug.on and Taylor, with
the inscription on the head of each, viz
s7his is solid Soap.
The Queen seemed TO doubt the fact, and
suddenly taking gold pm from her dress,
was about testing The truth Oft, by running
the pin inlo the head OF Washington, When
the PhIadelphian, seeing her object, placed
his hand between the pin and bust, and
with gravity ana poliseness, ubserved-"!t
is the bust oI, Washington, YOUR Majesty"
@ ,ick as thought. Prince Albert said with
a smile, to the interested Queen. sit is
only royalty picking at liberty" The
next morning all order came from Bucks

CEDAR SpRIM "a sYLUM, Nov. 9th. 1851.
MIR. EDITOR Your question "what has
caused the sad decline of sociality in our commu-
nifty of late yearsy kas just met my eye in the
Spartan, and ], suppose am too late for the
premium. but agtS Ink you.shallz know:
I set do,Dn as the cause
In consequence of the insufficient plan of
raising good common schools in the country, by
subscription, in which the sons and daughters of
the rich, as well as the poor, could associate
while obtaining o good English education-thosc
who have the means, send their children out Of
their respective communities in order to place
them under the instruction of competent teach
crs, leaving the children Of their more humble
neirhbors at home to the chances which await
them. In this way carly associations fail TO be
cultivated, and are rarely ever cultivated in after
life 1t is an old adage, and known to be true
by all ohscrvant minds that our " earliest impress
sions are the last to be erased from the mind"
School days rvet attachments never TO be forgot
ten. And though we may not have seen our
classmates for years, the name of one of them
found on the back of the old book, awakens all
that chain by which we were cndeared by asso-
citation. The poorer classes: cut off from the
associations of those who have the means to
cultivate their minds, arc left to scramble through
life with all that envy and jcalously peculiar TO
those who feel their inferiority. In this cond-
ton they imagine that the chief aim Of the rich
is to grind the poor, when indeed, perhaps, the
whole is imaginary. The educated mind, with
no more design Than the taller oak, looks down
with pity on the uneducated, as being unfortu-
nate, and necessarily seeks its fellow mind. This
is unfortunate but particularly so under Re-
publican form OF Government, where union Of
feeling is a life principle
Could we have system OF Free (not poor)
Schools supported by taxation in which all chill
dren should acquire at least good common
education in their vernacular tongue, they would
then srmpathise with each other through the
common ycissiludcs of life more deeply. The
capitalist would feel more for the wants of the
laborer-the lawyer for his client-the physician
for his natient-the officer for his soldier, and in
this way, sociality built up, VIC would come up to
tho common defence of our rights as citizens.
Nopcople under heaven, to my mind, are more
responsible for the passing moments than those
Of the Southern States, and am fully persuaded
that in the absence Of some such system as
have here alluded to, it will be impossible to
arrest this disaffecton, and hence the more
danger to our institution.
Yours, &c. N. +. w.
