Business Announcement.

THE CITIZEN resumes it's issue this
morning, its ownership being definitely
settled during the week Of its suspension.
It did not suspend with any idea of
having failed in the ordinary sense of
that term. Every debt was paid, and
those not matured were provided for.
The question to be now settled is, does
Asheville wish a first class daily paper !?
THE CITIZEN thinks such is the case and
offers itself to fill that want. The policy
of the paper will be democratic as indi-
Gated by a resolution found in the pro-
ceedings ofthe meeting of the hoard Of
directors. The advertising rates will be
the same as heretofore and it is hoped
that the Inducements to advertisers will
be much increased. The terms of sub

VICTOR HUGO AND THE MOUSE.

Gray Victor Hugo in his nook
Sat musing over a favorite book,
When 10, half timorous, half intent,
As on some serious errand bent,
His daughter and his grandchild brought
A mouse the pantry trap had caught.
The poet turned with loving heed
To hear the little maiden plead
with piteous face and eager cry,
Say, grandpa, shall the mousey die ?"
"Behold the thief" the mother SAID.
The piXy, with its nibbling knife,
So busy around my cheese and bread
Just now, made prisoner while it fed,
We found it squeaking life fife,
And, melted at its shrill complaint,
Our Jennie, like tender saint,
With fearful pity begged its life.
Her pleading charmed away my frown
1 spared my victim doomed to drown,
And told its gentle advocate
Her grandsire should decide its fate"
Poor little mouse ~ the old man smiled,
And drew his darling to his knee.
"See how it trembles," lisped the child,
ITS Just as scared as scared can be,
And sorry, too, guess it feels
Because my mamma says 1t steals.
All such a mite could eat and drink
Is no great stealing, ] should think !
Its head could cuddle in my ring;
Its ears--are like a midge's wing;
Its tail is just a bit of string;
Its wee bright eyes-the cunning thing
Its body scarce a spoon would fill;
1t isn't big enough to kill
And, oh, it looks at you so shy
Say, grandpa, shall the mouscy die?"
Fondly the aged poet spoke:
1.-The boon you ask Is grand to give;
Jeanuie stay the fatal stroke,
And bid your tiny prisoner live"
Then, as with kiss and blessing sped,
The child to free her captive ran,
The old man closed his eyes, and said:
80 Heaven decides mans lot for man,
The mouse that nibbles on the shelf
Knows not its fate, nor know 1 mine.
own Providence divine,
Since to that small, four-footed elf
was q providence myself;
And as my grace a life could spare
That feels no thanks, and knows me not,
we'll believe celestial care
Has oft my own deliverance wrought
Without my knowledge or my thought"
