FALSE FRIENDS.

Like shadows they come,
Like shadows they 90,
They're with you in sunshine,
But leave you in woe
Their smiles, eyanescent,
DeceitfuI, and vain,
Their words Of profession,
Like "clouds without rain ~
They steal on your hours
OF pleasure and case,
To offer the homage
They know that will please
They carcss you by measure,
They fatter by rule,
Then laugh atthe folly,
That made you their tool
Their tears arc all vapor,
That start at their call,
Like mists Of the morning,
They dry as they fall
They leave you }, sic &ness,
In anguish aud gloom,
To offer new Idols,
Their acaisiing perfume
While the rose is in blossom,
They hum like the Bee,
And bend to beauty,
The syGophant knee
But should the white hoar frost
Condemn it to die,
Like troops Of deSerterS,
They falter and fly
Like the Parasite climber,
That fawningly filings
Its myriads of festoons,
Where ever it clngs =
Then leaves the top shrub,
In its age and decay,
For the oak that is .fo,"ishing
Over the way
Like the Indians Of peru,
They worship the sun
Eclipse but his brightness
His worship is done.
To the moon in full glory,
Fresh homage they pay;
But when waning, return
To the "god of the day ~
On their friendship you cannot,
You dare not, rely,
For the promises pledged,
They viii break or deny;
They'll join the loud encOre,-
The swell Of applause
Then ,chisper the malice
That willis or destroys !
Their hearts-if they have any,
Are hollow, and cold
And the SESAME" opening there
Covered with gold,-
Which entering, you'll find,
But sepulchres Of sin
All empty and humid,
And fetd within.

From the State Journall
The name Of one of the persons killed
was Eugene Francis. formerly from Ohio.
He was merchant at Rancheria. and sf
ter the murder his safe was robbed Of
some $4,000. His clerk and teamster
were also killed. The name of the wo-
man killed was Mrs. Diamond; her hus

and robbers is supposed to have been led
by and consisted partly of Americans.
who, taking advantage of some difficulties
which occurred between the two races at
Drytown day or two previous. have
tried TO create the belief that only Mexi

Chilean. in Suffer Greek, and surrounding
camps. has been either pulled or burned
down, and notice has been given to eve
ry Mexican or Chileno to leave the coun-
try within twenty four hours. under pen

The band of Chilenos who com nitted
the six murders al Rancheria. killed four
Frenchmen next day on the Moquelumne
river. Six Of the band have been captur-
ed. and three of them were tried, con
demned and hung at Suffer creek. The
other three-two Mexicans and a white
