    I think the column on the right should be read from top to bottom, and the rest might be line by line from right to left, and with google you then get:

    The painting environment is beautiful when you are young.

    West Changchun
    Xunyou
    Letter boy
    scholar

    And from left to right for the characters on the left
    Spring Changxi
    bless
    child seal letter
    Zizishi

    And top to bottom:
    child
    Western believers
    Changyou Zhangzi
    spring

    Looking forward to seeing how inaccurate this is :D
