To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
awoke the other day from my long sleep upon
the mountains and found the genius OF the great
and IMMORTAL Mast reduced to strange shifts TO
earn his daily bread like to see great men ap-
preciated, and thinking that his masters, having in
great measure ''black ckboarded" Tom and at the
same time cast nlm forth upon the world alone
and neglected, herewith, alter due deliberation
thereon, enclose three one cent postage stamps
TO enable Mast to write to his employers thanking

NEW YORK, Oct. 81, 1873
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Beholding the lavish manner in which gener
ous and appreciatlng community is responding to
the urgent necessity Of Mr.. Mast, the great extln
gusher OF William Hogarth, would fain offer a
suggestion, which VIII. as trust not only relieve
the artist by adding weekly stipend to his ex-
hausted funds but also place him Immediately on
that pinnacle Of notoriety. am willing to concede
that the late charitable articles in his behalf that
have appeared in the HERALD have been the means,
to certain extent, ofbrnging him into notice, and
proving to him. at the same time. tho noble munif-
cence Of the admirers Of his genius. But charity
all times IS very precarious dependence, and it
is therefore but proper that the extinguisner Of
William Hogarth, Tenniel and the late John
Leech-not to mention the puny George Cruik-
shank-should meet with the reward his genus
so truly merits. Now, seeing that he has taken to
the blackboard line Of business and viewing the
great success achieved BY Mons. Regemay at
Niblo's Theatre, Il would humby suggest that he
should, through your influence, be engaged at Tony
PASTORS, where, atttred In the garb Of negro
minstrel, he might exhibit his art on black
board TO the delight OF our worthy citizens who
nightly crowd such places OF amusement, where
his sJyle feel convinced, would be duly appreci-
ated and rewarded in q substantial manner. l
had in conjunction with my brother Crlsplns (be-
ing a shoemaker), formed resolution to get him
employment on our naestones, seeing that we have
considerable influence with the Commissioner Of
Pavements; but hope that my suggestions will be
approved OF, SO that Mr.. Mast may reap that proud
reward to which his delicate outlines and skiful
knowledge OF anatomy entitle him. l hereby re-
quest you to put down my name for twenty five
cents, contributed by me and my brother colabor-
ers. as a response to the delighted feelings with
which the works Of Mr.. Mast have inspired us.
