take to marbles , a peg-top , a hoop , any game ; ay , with $ s ^{ j | i pleasure as some * of our aspirants for a fat reptory , a pr $ b < md a * 5 r stall , or even a bishop ' s crosief , or an archbishppte niiUe ., tafcf to dice and drinking , horse-racing , fox-hunting , a steeple ? - chase ., copk-fighting , or badger-baiting .
Happy , indeed , are these boys in the fortunate position for rambles among the charming , rich , and varied scenery which t& $ immediate neighbourhood of Worktop presents . Within l § f § than a quarter of a mile from their own door , tt *§ y h $ ve enhance tq the beautiful grounds of Worksop ] | Ianor , in all the variety of a scarcely undulated turfy plain and rising mounds
$ n < i ridges , —too little elevated to be honoured \ yith tb $ cjis-r tjnotion of the narne of hills , indeed , but so graciously fqrme |; rich in light and shadow , and lavishly decorated with ^ perfect luxmy of colour from the assembled , separated , and comrainglecl birch , oak , larch , spruce , fir , laurel , acacia , and a host of solemfi poems in the shape of cedar trees .

light by day , and the moonbeams by night Here and there §? e platts of fern , gorse , heath , and moss , that would make Titania chirrup with delight . Adjoining Worksop Manor is another triumph of scene , — W # lb § el f Abbey and pari ^ . On the other hand , the public road divides Worksop Manor from the magnificent domain of Clam-I ptafc tfte . T > vfe % of Newcastle ' s seat , which is in turn separated , b y a road only , from that park of p arks ( to me the most exciting example of park scenery in the kingdom ) Thoresby , belonging to Earl Manvers ; and to crown the whole , eight nu ' 1 $$ f rom
Worksop , out of Thoresby park at once into its deep and intense heart , is the mightiest of the mighty , the soul- ^ nthraller , Birkland Billagh , the beloved , t ^ ie mingler with millions of thoughts , the sole vestage of ancient Sherwood ' s vast glories . I niust stay the thoughts which the memory ' s picture of that ilptce , that bit of Sherwood , rolls up in the rushing tide of Pleasure . I took up my pen to speak of my visit iS schooliioy | --pl thro ^ r it down , because my memory and senses have Sown to Eiirkland Billaghl Pel . Verjuce .
