Mr. David Dudley Field is still in the "dnle

.n The International Review which is more
melaucholy than the other one. He lias now
come ?to the lamentable conclusion that ours is
" the most depraved and least responsible
?'newspaper press in all the world." We are
"overwhelmed with d??bt." The public service
is "inefficient and disordered." Legislatures
are " venal." The paper money is " depre?
ciated." "Fifteen years ago." groans Mr.
Field, " wo were advancing with the stride of
"a giant to the dominion of the seas; to-ilay
"the triilent is in other hands." The patron?
age of the Government has been " perverted
" from public to private ends." There are
"special charters" aul "monnpolms," and
"subsidies to corporations,** and "gifts to
"private institutions." Oflices are "too many
" in number," and " too many are unworthily
"bestowed." Moreover, there are "open and
"flagrant btcaehes of trust in those who are
"clothed with the administration of public
"property." "The corruption of American
"politico" bids fair to destroy the American
Republic. We are hi a v<*ry bad way.
All this is by no means pretty reading for
the pleasant Christmas season, ai.d we an*
almost a iraid to reckon the number of dinners
which the forebodings of Mr. Fi?*ld have
spoiled. It is true that after his dreadful diae
iiosis of the disease, Mr. field is kind enough
to prescribe a remedy. We aie to recover by
not doing so any mow. And it is perfectly
plain that if we grant no more subsidies to
pi i vate corporations, permit no legislation
which has for its object "the pecuniary profit
"of any class or person ;" if we abolish all
oflices which are " not necessary to the public
"servies}" if we sapotel t?> pises only those
who arc fitted for it, we shall b<> safe and
sound. This is as inu-h as to say that if we
abandon all the unih?irablc things of whh h
Mr. Field complains, there will be no OOBS
sion to complain of them any mor?*, Q. K. I).
We shall e\p?nd no lime and no ink in con?
troverting a position so entirely nnssssilshlf
And when Ir. Field adds that we " niiist eii
" lighten th" voter and arouse ids cotiM-icncc,"
we are lost _ wonder at the almost supcr
natural clearheadedness ? this vigorous writer.
If we are virtuous we certainly shall not be
vicious, and if w?* are wise we shall not niak?'
political asses of ourselves. All that go?'S
with'uit saying j but ?lili we bis gratified to

he would lie ina situation in comparison with
which thai of the much suffering Job was a jolly

THE SIDEWALK MERCHANTS.
Wal?-st. has no longer a monopoly, of out
of-door business. Th?' hard times have evi?
dently driven manJ out of other employment
to the peddling of sundries on the Street ; and
the vocifi roils eagfrnOSI with Which they olfer
their wares proves conclusively how anxious
they are to sell them, it is a fact, however,
which purchusc.s tempte?! by insignificant
piten soon lind out, that few articles which
are or have ever lx-en of the first ?pmlify fmd
their way to these extemporized shops. Then,
too, there is much less variety in the assort?
ments than one would suppose. Sometimes
one arti?;le dominates the market ; Bometioiea
another ; but theie is si ways one which is in
many hands. Now it is a particular kiud
of child's rattle ; this week it ha? been a
large silk handkerchief, said most loudly
to ho imported from England, und suitable in
sharp weather for a wrap. In ?some parts of
Broadway this week, ?book venders hsve made
their appearance, each with half a dozen vol?
umes under his arm, none of th?m of a kind
to enrapture the money out of a collector's
poek?-t. Toys, this year, appear to run main?
ly to acrobats, and tumblers; the warranted
Ku.tsia-leatlier pocket-books are very numer?
ous; the loug-establistif d dealer in Spitz pup
pie., one under each ami, will bo found at
his accustomed corner, with a collar and chain
man in convenient ueighliorhood. The per
ambulatory tobacc??nist, whose whole stock
consist? of a dozen Connecticut * cigars, is a?
noisy as if he had cargoes of the wend at his
command; the fruit dealers are sacrificing
their perishable commodities as they did in
July; butr tho flower merchants have mostly
been driven within doors by the cold. In
their place there is a gr<*at splendor of cheap
jewelry, and heaps of toy-books which have
ousted soberer volumes from the stalls, to the
great annoyance of veteran buyers.
It must be admitted that the volubility of
these chapmen and chapwomen in sometimes a
little annoying, but we ought uot t? be im?
patient at an importunity which shows how
anxious they are to make an honest living.
There is nothing of idleness nor of vagabond?
age in this street -selling, and it is much nobler
at the worst than out-and-out begging. You
get something for your money, ev?-n if you do
n??t get much. Nor are ?he profits dishonestly
cnoiiiMvtts. These articles, culled from job lots
of unsalable stock, if they are bought arv also
sold for a trifle. Mori-over, a man who iu all
weathers stands upon the comer and bawls" at
the top of his voice all ?lay does do a day's
work, and ought not to be grudged his day's
wages. The presumption is that he is as hon?
est as the exigencies ?if the times will admit.
He might easily have fallen into worse ways;
he might have betaken himself to picking
pickets, to playing a hand-organ, or to games
of "coiilideiice." He might have gone about
with a paper setting forth the misfortunes of
himself and the miseries of his family. He
might have pretended to be lame or blind.
He might simply have done nothing at all,
crunching only the crust and gnawing only
the bones of charity. Instead of this he In-gs
you lo buy a bandana or a banana. This is
lamest, at bust.
These business operations which we have
Ix'i-n describing are not large; tlitre aie no
millions in them ; y?'t the str?-?t vernier, too,
may come to un insolvency comparatively as
graut as that of a gnat banker with a thou?
sand ?ittlitors ami ten nurigaeee. UN us
wish him the good link whicn he so much
iiei'ds iu this holiday seas??:?, ami buy of him
if perehnace he has anything to sell which we
can tutu to any BOMfble HUB. BUUM things he

ami,the ehuaeenaiu that he doeenot hurt reg?
ular in-?l<>A?r trade much moto than be helps

somebody. All retailing implies wlioh-uling,

THF. STOBT OF THF. BABOU8REA.
The Russian js'isants have a curious tradi?
tion which may Ih- new t<? some of our M 'til?
ers, it is that an obi woman, the Buhmmhku.
was at \sork in liar house when the W?M men
from th?? Hast passed on their wsj to find the
Christ-child. "('inn?; with us," they said.
" We hate wen His Star in the F.ast, and go
" t?i worship Him." "I will ?nine, but not
" mm," she answered? " I have my hmme to
" s?'t in order ; when that is done, 1 will fol*
" low ?and had Him." But when her work was
thin?', the time kings had passed on their way
across ihe de?, it, and the Star shone no more
in the darkened heavens. She in vet saw the
Christ-child, but she is living and searchinii
for Him still. For His sak?' si?** takes ??ire of
all little children. It is she who, in Russian
ami lialim houses, is believed t?> till the st ?ek
ings ?mil dres* the tr?-e on t'hristtnas morning.
Th?* childri'ii are wakeiie?! by the cry of
"Behold the Babo_ahhaP* and spring up,
boning to see her before she vanishes ??ut of
the window. She fancii's, the tradition goes,
that iu t ach poor little one whom she warms
ami beds ?he may timl the Christ-child whom
she neglected ages ago, but is ?loomed to eter?
nal di:-appoint meut.
We shall all timl the old faille fanciful and
touching perhuna, ami no dismiss it. The fact
is, we arc apt, this Cliii-timts week, to think also
of the whole story of the Star ami the Child in
the stable as fa fanciful touching legend,
which may hajie actual meaning to some of
our ui-ighhors, hut which B-fc-Ot*. us cliiclly
through the service it has lx-?-n to art ami
literature, and through certain genial, poetic,
popular observances?church music, Christinas,
and the like. Life is too short and full of hard
work anil business lor us to sift out the actual
meaning of thOM long-ago o?'<-ui-rences. We
nr?' apt to pay them a certain outward ?lcfcr
eiM'c, ami even iu softer moments a grateful
emotional icspnt, ?t little ?Ueper probably
than We give to the creations of Shakespeare
or any great master who has cheered or helped
ii-?, an immortal thought. The bill due to-mor?
row, the btjajaf schooling, th?? imw library fur
niiiiie, the money with which we pay eooh or
'?'loccr?these an- the realities of lif?>; but that
..hiilowy st;tr, that benign Preeen-e which an
tered the world ages ago, belong to th?1 realm
of fervid beling, which we may touch on an
on ?isiiinal Sunday morning, wh?n the music is
tine, or may never touch at all.
What act mil place, for instance, has this dim
Mitrad story in the life of liotts, who went
about y?'fit?-rday with a haggard face won?
dering how, uow that cottons an? down, he is
ever to pull his son through college or marry off
the girls pr??p?rly ; or in the lives of his sham
beioiigi'd wife, struggling to keep up appear?
ances, or his tinical, Highly daughters! Christ?
mas only meant to them the b??re of calls from
poor relations and demands for public charities
which fashion loNM them to give. Yet there
is not a man or woman living to-day to whom,
as t?? the woman in the story, the cry has not
come, at b'iist once in their lives, "The Christ
" is found. Come with us and worship Him."
The llalsiushka looking out saw the light of a
miraculous Star streaming across tho desert,
and kings on their way to Him bearing royal
gifts. We ?ill fancy that if such mighty mar?
vels lia?! ever told us of Him wo should not
have waiN-d, as she di?l, to finish our day
work liefere setting out to find Him. Tho
call has come to our doors in different
waya and times, not always in semious
or praise. Hotts has been a regular church?
goer all his life, and never heard the Heavenly
Voice as he sat in his pew. But the day when
his old mother died, and he sat holding her
??old hand and looking into her pleading eyes,
the Savior \?fhom she had served so long was
very near to him. The poor worldly wretch
felt that ?he might have been a manlier man
with an agony of remorse, and was almost
persuaded to be a Christian. Iiut he waited
to lini-h his Soring trades in his own way.
When his wife sits at night wait?ur for her i
drunken boy to come hodie, sha wonden
feebly if there is any Helper who lovtvl Hfc
own mother and can hear every rootlier's
prayer. Hut she tries to mnnnge the lad by
shrewd finesse, which she understand i. Et.***.
that unable pink and white creature, her
daughter, feels at times that there is a som^
thinjr in this world outside of fashion and Hir.
tatiou which, if it were hers, would make* lum
a living, true woman, instead of a sham.
There is not a word or a circumstance that
comes to any of us which shows ut? that out
lives are mean, or false, or paltry, which i?
not directly sent to bring us to that Savior
born into the world, to find from Bin ths
secret of trim manliness. There is not a ?tory
of political corruption, or fraud, or tyranny
which docs n?it point us to the birth of that
Man, the influenceI of whose life spread tbrosgb
the world honesty, liberty, aud cducitioa.
The birth in the stable will seem less like a
beautiful legend when we remember that to
J?*sus the world owes whatever respect is nald
anywhere to the rights of the poor, the
chastity of women, the brotherly servies
due from man to man. It is worth while
for each of us to remcnihcr when the cry
came to us, as to the Balmushka, to go out
and find iiiui, and what work it was that we
chose for a companion instead of this Lord of
Life. If we have shut ourselves all our lives
into our drudgery, however, it is not too late
for us to leave it; to bring our lives to high?
levels of honor, friendliness, ?levotion. The
quickest way to touch his hand at this especial
BBSSeU is to find the children, the hungry,
cold, helpless babies that wait f?>r us in every
alley. The Huhousliku. the story goes, seek?
the Christ-child in each, to lie disappointed,
But we shall not be disapphinted. He has told
us that we shull find Him in the least of the?e
His brethren. _
