=" Are we friends or are we foes ="
North and South the question goes
Are we foes or are we friendsi
Tell me how the moral tends;
Standing In our garb OF blood, sG
On the soil whore freemen stood, ~
We, the question, ask OF those 4ff
Who wORid grind us meath their fcck,
Are We friends OF are We foesY
Z Ia the brotherhood complcte2
ny the blood that fell like raiu
Ca Manassas tramped plata;
ny the mem'ry--cherished still
j Ofour dead at Malvern Hill;
By that hero's bones which sleep
In the valley, calm aRd deep;
by our flag, now laid to rest,
R Typing all our bitper woes,
And by every Robicr test
We would be NO longer foes.
We have known torturiag hour,
Y We have felt the weight OF power
Felt tho blow which dasiaed the cup
As we held II trembling up; a.
Ours has been tire fate which draws
y Mourners round aconquered cause;
Madly as we may have fought,
With the fight our hatred ends;
II our brotherhood Is sought,
We are ready to be frieuds.
Swould you have us cringe and dbowi--
Lick the hand that struck tho blow2
And, above our storied graves,
Ciank our chains like willing slaves,
Till the dead shall start with fear
As the waillng sound they heart
II this pledge ye would demand,
Ifyed have US bend thus low,
Better were the fettered hand,
While our manhood thanders-No, f
3 If ySd set our hate aaame-
Taunt us with our barning shame.

But we've known no greater sin;
Let the choice then be with youi

MoDERATING - THE Ice HARVEST
From o'clock on Monday morning until IL
O'Clock yesterday there was a r1se in the mer-
curry OF thuty degrees. So material change
took from The atmosphere much of its keenness
and made it endurable. Ladies appeared on the
promenade yesterday, ana the retail quarters
presented their usual busness-like aspect.
Above the city the Delaware was stationary, but
the icebOat had 81 broken the ice in front OF the
city and some distance beyond 1t that the steam
ferry boats were enabled to make their usual
tips to Camden and return. Some distance
above parties were taking advantage OF the
elegant skating to indulge in that iavorite sport.
The ice on the Schuylkill was in places, about
six inches thick, and in most excellent condition
for skating. Ict dealers we're making prepara-
tions TO lay in their stock and will begin to cut
to-day. They will require clear aud cold weather
for week to enable them to ill their houses.
The skating on the SchuylKill was never finer.
and many graceful skaters were yesterday NOV
ing over its CLASSY surface with an ease AMI fleet
ness rather astonishing to those not practised in
the art. Both above and below the dam the
skating is good.
