Wit worth preserving.--The committee appointed to collect metal for cannon for Gen. Beauregard's army, applied to a planter of Adams County, Miss., for his bell. Not having such an article, he mentioned it to his wife, when she very patriotically offered her brass kettle. The little ones rather demurred to the sacrifice, and one of them, with a sweet-tooth, said: La, pa, what will we do for preserves? My daughter, said the wag of a father, our whole duty now is to preserve our country. The kettle was sent.--Richmond Examiner.
