Ruth Scotts Sampler made in / the 9th year of her age 1825 / (At bottom L): And you my children dear / Be good and love the truth / Of every fault keep clear / Now in your early youth / Your mother's voice obey / To her be ever kind / (At bottom R): By night as well as day / Her precepts always mind / And may the God of might / Who calls your Father hence / Direct your course aright / And be your sure defence //
