An aged, patriotic meditation contrasts the nation’s celebration with a warning of internal betrayal. The speaker condemns traitors and servile slaves while praising fearless citizens who guard liberty and defy cynicism, urging unity against hidden dangers unseen in the joyous crowd.
The Sprout family, wealthy Arrowford settlers from Pennsylvania, dominate local society with farms and intermarrying to preserve wealth. A diary-like scene at the village inn shows their status, pride, and interfamily dynamics as a mysterious visitor arrives seeking Charen Sprout.
An old man claiming kinship, Nicholas Sprout, arrives incognito to attend a wedding. The Sprout clan doubts him, forcing him to sleep at a tavern as they debate his lineage. A mysterious gentleman reveals the Sprout fortune, sparking village excitement and rising hopes before morning arrival.
The piece compiles rustic maxims and wry anecdotes reflecting social foibles and family relations. It opens with a traveler’s tale of returning in poverty to claim kinship, then folds numerous proverbs about poverty, marriage, wit, and fate, followed by short anecdotes about Essex County, a mayor, and a town meeting voter.
