Doctor Marigold

I am a Cheap Jack, a Cheap and my own fathers name was Willum Marigold. It was in his lifetime supposed by some that his name was William, but my own father always consistently said, No, it was Willum. On which point I content myself with looking at the argument this way: If a man is not allowed to know his own name in a free country, how much is he allowed to know in a land of slavery? As to looking at the argument through the medium of the Register, Willum Marigold come into the world before Registers come up Thmuch,mdash;and went out of it too. They wouldnt have been greatly in his line neither, if they had chanced to come up before him.
