	inscription:	above: "Teach me to sooth the helpless orphan's grief,/ with timely aid the widow's woes assuage./ To Misry's moving cries to yield relief,/ And be the sure resource of drooping age./ So when the genial spring of life shall fade,/ And sinking nature owns the dread decay,/ Some soul congenial then may lend its aid,/ And gild the close of life's eventful day."; below: "Ann Madden  Aged 12 Years/ 1823."
