EFFECTS OF JOY.
The “ Lyttelton Times ” relates the followinglntense joy manifests itself in peculiar ways, a striking instance of which may be seen in Christchurch at the present moment A man occupying a not very exalted position in society received information on Tuesday that a legacy of £2OOO had been left him. He immediately chartered a four-wheeler, and attired in a Crimean shirt, with his coat on his arm, seemed to have no further object in life, unless it were to get his beard dyed. When this is accomplished to all appearances he will have reached the summum honum of bis existence. A curious calculation would -be how long his legacy will last out the expense pf a cab for say twelve hours per day. There will be some competition among the Jehus.
