Rules for q Happy Life.

WouIdst thou be happy liver,
Happy and StudiouS 10 rnchance
The glory of the great lilc-GiVCr,
Launch not thy boat 10 drift al chance
Where strong Hoods roll and Wild waves
dance
On lifc's broad-ruShing river.
Live rs Il man and count IL treason
TO man To live divorce from reason;
Prove your ground and know your game.
Ana ply your task with stout cndcaYur,
Nor couriing praise, nor fearing blame.
Know your own worth ana know MT less
Your neighhor'S weight and wurthineSS:
And where ho works we'll let HIM do
The work that might be spoiled by you.
Make Il good friend where'er you can;
Not wise Is he who hath no eyes
To know how fools may help the wise;
With loving deeds bind man 10 mln,
But never shrink with blinking eyes
From what they only lea,n who try:
And though Nou stand alone, in sirht
or God be bold To hold the right.
March brayely ON and III You stumble
Never groan and never grumble;
Rise again with wise forgetting:
Wounds were never salved by frottlng.
Watch Your chance and know your hour
And let the moment feel your power;
Shape your path and keep yourrules
With deaf ear turned to meddling fools,
It's dull To wait and hard 10 stand,
But Gods time comes with high command,
That claims the service of Your hand.
Let the wise farmer teach you knowledge,
Oft sought in vain at school and college;
Split the rock and turn the sod,
With busy hands east honest seed,
Stoutly uproot each harmful weed
And let the seasons wait on God!
