SPECULATION IN WHISPERS;
OR, SHAVING IN A BROKERS' OFFICE.
By Sol SMITH.


There lived at Milledgeville, in the year
1882, dandifed individual whom we will
call jerks. This individual had tolerably
favorable opinion of his personal appear
ance. His fingers were hooped with rings,
| and his shirt bosom was decked with q
magnificent breast-pin; coat, hat, vest, and
boots were made exactly to fit; he wore kid
gloves Of remarkable whiteness his hair
was oiled and dressed in the latest and best
style; and to complete his killing appear

was sitting one day in brokers' Office,
when jerks came in to inquire the price of
| exchange on New York. He was invited
to sit down, and segar was offered him.
Conversation turning on the subject of buy
ing and selling stocks, remark was made
by gentleman present, that he thought
no person should sell out stock in such-and-
such bank at that time, as it must get
better in few days.
81 will sell any thing I've got, if 1 can
make any thing on it," remarked jerks.
"Oh, no. replied one, mot any thing
you wouldn't sell your whiskers !''
A loud laugh followed this chance re-
mark. jerks Immediately answered:
81 would-but who would want them {?
Any person making the purchase would
lose money by the operation, I'm think
ing"
"Well," I observed, 81 would be willing
to take the speculation, if the price could
be made reasonable.
'Oh, I'll sell 'em cheap" answered jerks,
winking at the gentlemen present.
"What do you call cheap ?" inquired.
''I'll sell 'em for fifty dollars" jerks
answered, putting forth cloud of smoke
across the counter, and repeating the wish.
"Well, that is cheap; and you'll sell
your whiskers for fifty dollars? ?"
81 will"
"Both of them.''

The sum of fifty dollars was paid, and
jerks left the brokers' Office in high glee,
iourishing Five Central Bank KS aud tell
ing all his acquaintances of the great bar
gain he had made in the sale Of his whis-
kers.
The broker and his friends laughed at me
for being taken in 80 nicely. "Never mind"
said I 'let those laugh that win; I'll make
a profit of those whiskers, depend on it."
For a month after this, whenever met
jerks, he asked me when intended to call
for my whiskers?
"Pll let you know when l want them,
was always my answer. "Take' good care
of them-oil them occasionally; shall call
for them one of these days"
