The Asher and Pittibone Feud.

THE cattle stood up to their knees in
Il the creek, and every bird in the
woods sat silent or whirred about in
languid, discouraged way, it was such
boiling summer weather. The men
were afraid of sunstroke, and would not
go back to their threshing before two
o'clock, in spite of Job Asher's exhorta-
tions. Both great doors of the barn
were open, and some lounged on the
floor in a pleasant breeze, while others
fingered on the east porch of the house,
or even explored the prim, dark parlor.
Thirteen strong, voracious threshers
were quartered for the day, and perhaps
for several days--the length of their
stay depending on the amount of grain
to be threshed and the durability of the
machine-at Job Asher's. They had
eaten huge dinner, and there was only
one woman to wait on them all. She
was not standing in the cool creek along
with the happier cattle, at that time of
day, warrant you, not resting herself
in such air as might be stirring, after
the mornings labor of cooking for her
army. While the men lounged and Job
Asher fretted, his sallow, sad wife went
STOPPING around the kitchen, washing
the dishes, and preparing things for
supper. Really, it seemed her vitality
must be exhausted at the next step, but
she knew she should keep on walking
and working like a machine until all
which was required of her was finished.
She had long survived that period when
she could find any pleasure in accom-
plishing tasks or the thrift TO which
her husband exhorted her. Poor Mrs.
Asher was broken spring-a stretched
out bit of elastic. She wished julie were
there. If Julia had gotten home in
time for the threshing, she shouldn't
have had it so hard. Julia sort of rested
her, just by being in the house. She
really smiled slowly, and with wan
glistening of the face, as she thought of
her bounding, ruddy seventeen year old
girl. Julia meant to get home, but
school was not out until that very day.
and her father did not want her to
miss any of the advantages which cost
him so much cash.
Mrs. Asher recollected, as she rubbed
the dishes of, how long she and the dear

For The TIMES.
EVANESCENCE.

The carly glow of human hearts,
Alas, how transitory
How soon the fire of life departs
How fades its fairest glory
Its magic wine with rosy light
Fills Youths enchanted palace;
But shadows fall as dark as night,
When Age presents the chalice.
Our Summer brings the odorous bloom,
Of lilies and of roses;
Our Winters frosty twilight gloom
Their scentless stems discloses.
The wreaths that round our brows we wove,
Or e'er we know it, wither,
And wing their flight the birds of love-
All, who can tell us whittier
The music that was won't to cheer,
No more to gladness urges
Our heart-throbs turn to tollings drear,
Our roundelays to dlrges.
The dreams are false that haunt the night,
Nor comfort thence we borrow,
To-day in festal garments digit,
In garb of dole tomorrow.
A world that seemed no change to know,
Was that where first we found US;
But tombs arise as on we go,
And pitfalls lurk around us.
And change on every side appears,
And cares our spirits cumber,
Till, wearied out with hopes and fears,
To wake no more, we slumber.

ENGLAND.

LONDON, Aug. 3O,-The correspondence
between United States Minister Welsh and
Lord Salisbury, in regard to Condor, the
Fenian, is published. Mr.. Welsh, under
the date of Aug. 8, reminds Lord Salisbury
that the United States has already pre-
ferred prayer for the release OF Condor
three times, and so would doubtless con-
tinue to do so until it is granted. The be.
lief of the United States is that Condor is
an ardent lrishman who served most hon
orablv in the American war, was victim
of circumstances in his wrong doings and
having been eleven years prisoner and
learned wisdom may well be restored to
bis family In the United States. Welsh
concludes by saying that he believed the
release OF Condor would be regarded by
the president and congress of the United
States as most friendly action.
Lord Salisbury replied Aug. l6, that the
cabinet has carefully considered the re-
quest and the fact that Condon's health is
suffering seriously and has been strongly
moved to look upon the application in most
favorable light, in consequence of its being
one to which the president and congress
attach great importance, The cabinet will
therefore recommend her majesty to remit
the remainder of the sentence of Condor,
and as a necessary consequence the re-
mainder of the sentence of Milady, convict
ed of the same offence, under such condi-
tons as Ler majesty may be pleased to
prescribe. one of which will be the resi-.
dence of the released prisoners outside of
the British Dominion for the remainder Of
the sentence or for such shorter period as
may be fixed -
