Apparently It has never been easy for 12 year olds. The sampler is inscribed: Lucy White aged 12 years - Pittsfield August 8 1823
The source of wisdom I implore
Thy aid to guide me safely o'er
The slipry paths of youth

O deign to send a steady ray
To point the sure and certain way
To value and to truth
