BY F. B. WELLS.
In all avenues of labor, In city, hamlet, hill-Bide, plain, Meu are ever seeking power, Seeking famo, or Becking gain ; But to all who seek for treasure, Inspired by some fairy dream, This cage maxim should remember-* Only live fish swim up stream. He who hopes, but is inactive, Wishing for earth's golden store, He may wish till death's stern eummona Bids the wisher wish no more. But with unfaltering faith and courage All may hope for joyß supreme ; lie who wills is cure to conquerOaly live fi3h swim up stream. If difficulties, dangerß, penis, Confront and threaten o l every hanS, Remember lie who braves no conlliott Lives the life cf h&lf a man ; But to him who fears not danger, Falters not at perils unseen, He it iB who proves the moralOnly live Hih swim up stream. Let us then, though tempests gather, And the way eoem dark and drear, Fight the battle still more bravely ; Farther on the way's more dear. He who hopes to be remembered Must with courage, ciltn, serene, Live a noble life of notion — Only live fish swim up stream.
