TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
DEAR SIR: i did not intend again to cast "my
line in riled waters" because the sh found there are
not worth the taking So, after reading the lasored
and abusive article which appeared in the HEhALD
Of Tuesday last, the 23d December. as eman ating
from the committee, had made up my mind to
maintain dignifed silence; but on reflection, as
sumo it net emily as right, but az my duty, to
notice these gentlemanly ;nsinuatiops about art
lists struggling with adverse circumstances, and
IN akibg them plea for the sale Of their pictures,
which they weuld never ask private purchaser to
outrage his taste BY buying W' pesnaps s M r.
his works: and perhaps the committee is wrong
that is possible; but it is also possible that from
reasons similar to those which would guide pri.
yate gentleman in the selection tfa gallery OF
raintifrs. they have used the privilege Of con-
sultpg their own tastes aid acting On their own
judgme MT" lie this IuissaLt committee to erect
themselves into tribuna! OF taste, from which
there can be no appeal!
have offered nv pictures thrice TO the commit
tee within the last eight months, and thrice have
they been rejected. have simply ASKED them their
ieasons for 80 doing; and now they answer by OBJ
scure and mean insinuatiops, degrading to them
selves gentle men and injurious TO my reputation
as an artist appeal to the public, "tbe friend OF
this most valuable institution" ! refer them to
the store OF Messrs Williams 4 Stevens, in Broad
way, where they can see two OF the rejected Pio-
lures which the committee have said, virtually,
are net worth purchasing. | will now depend
on the Judgment of the public in preference to
that CT the gentlemen who lounge in the COM
Portable back parlor Of the Art Union building. !,
One wo, d in regard to the card which appeared
in one the papers and signed by some twenty or
lists extollirg Tie Institution to the skies. Why,
sir, have heard some Of the most prominent Of
,hese gentlemen say severer things OF the manage
ment Of the Art Union than ] have ever uttered;
but they were afraid to let their sayings reach the
ears Of the committee. Was rot right IN saying
''they were trucuentF'

Fable.

TO BE LEARNT ~ LOUIS NAroirox
There was diver once, whose boast
Was that he brought up treasures LOST,
However deep beneath the sea,
OF GLOSSY haired Parthenope.
To try him people oft threw in
silver cup, or gold zecchin.
Down went the diver /" fathoms ninea-
And you might see the metal shine
Between his lips or on his head
While lazy Tetbys lay abed,
And not Nereid round her beard
The green pearl spaBgled curtain stirr'd.
One day tempting fend threw down
Where whirl'd the waves-a tinsel crown,
And said
Oh, diver you who dive
Better than any ms n alive,
And zee where ether folks are bind
And what all others miss can find
You saw the glorious crown threw
Into the whiripool-now, can yea
Recover It. thus won. you mag
Wear it Lot once, but every day
20 may your sons.'
Down, down he sprang-
A hundred Nereids heard the clang.
And clo,ed him round and held him fast
The diver there had dived his last,
