	inscription:	"Remember now thy Creator in the days of/ thy youth while the evil days come not, nor/ the years draw nigh, when thou fhalt fay,/ I have no pleafure in them;/ For the days of man are but as grafs for/ he flourisheth as a flower of the field./ For as foon as the wind goeth over it, it is/ gone and the place thereof shall know it no more./ Let me be wife in youth, O LORD, so that/ I fafe may tread the way I ought to go;/ Lead me, and learn me what is right and juft,/ For in thy Help, my GOD, I place my truft./ Ann Blachford Her Work Finished/ September 2, 1779./ Num.
