- How To Arrange A Paper Chase
There are few more healthful or enjoyable ways of spending a half-holiday than in running a paper chase. It is quite easy to get out a little way into the country from any big city by train, trolley, or motor car, and a good cross-country run cannot but...

Anna Laetitia Barbauld, ?To Mr. Coleridge?
Anna Laetitia Barbauld,
?To Mr. Coleridge?
Midway the hill of science, after steep
And rugged paths that tire the unpractised feet,
A grove extends; in tangled mazes wrought,
And filled with strange enchantment: - dubious shapes
Flit through dim glades, and lure the eager foot
Of youthful ardour to eternal chase.
Dreams hang on every leaf: unearthly forms
Glide through the gloom; and mystic visions swim
Before the cheated sense. Athwart the mists,
Far into vacant space, huge shadows stretch
And seem realities; While things of life,
Obvious to sight and touch, all glowing round,
Fade to the hue of shadows. ? Scruples here,
With filmy net, most like the autumnal webs
Of floating gossamer, arrest the foot
Of generous enterprise; and palsy hope
And fair ambition with the chilling touch
Of sickly hesitation and blank fear.
Nor seldom indolence these lawns among
Fixes herturf-built seat; and wears the garb
Of deep philosophy, and museful sits
In dreamy twilight or the vacant mind
Soothed by the whispering shade; for soothing soft
The shades; and vistas lengthening into air
With moonbeam rainbows tinted .-Here each mind
Of finer mould, acute and delicate,
In its high progress to eternal truth
Rests for a space, in fairy bowers entranced;
And loves the softened light and tender gloom;
Looks down indignant on the grosser world,
And matter's cumbrous shapings. Youth beloved
Of Science ? of the Muse beloved, - not here,
Not in the maze of ****physic lore,
Build thou thy place of resting! Lightly tread
The dangerous ground, on noble aims intent;
And be this Circe of the studious cell
Enjoyed, but still subservient. Active scenes
Shall soon with healthful spirit brace thy mind;
And fair exertion, for bright fame sustained;
For friends, for country, chase each spleen-fed fog
That blots the wide creation. ?
Now heaven conduct thee with a parent's love!
