OUR NEW HAVEN LETTER.
NEW HAVEN, Dee. 20, 1859

DEAR ANaLo:-Ths holidays are now
upon us, and everybody is preparing to
enjoy themselves as best they can during
their continuance; hence there is nothing
of Importance going on but these prepara-
tons. | have always had a reverence for
sacred seasons and places, and therefore re-
joice at every opportunity to celebrate and
enjoy them. Christmas day incarnates the
idea of heaven coming down to earth, and
of our humanity being taken up into divin-
ity. To-day, tell us Of the first glorious
martyr, the blessed St. Stephen, who be-
came so sanctifed with the divine love as
to be able to die with the same God-like
words of forgiveness on his lips as did his
blessed Savior Tomorrow speaks to us
of another sainted follower of Jesus, whose
heart became SO Sanctifsd through the
truth that it was also one fame of ardent
love. And the next day following conse-
crates the memory of those holy innocents
that despot sent up to the throne of God
as the first among the redeemed, in his
spiteful hate against the infant Jesus. And
now to the holy memories of this month
we may hereafter add the day of Browns
martyrdom, and that of his four compatri-
OTIS, which occurred respectively on the I'd
and 10th of December. In the martyrdom
of ST. Stephen and John Brown the two
ends of Christianity seem to have met to-
gether by the immolation of two of the no
blest and most selt-sacrifcing followers OF
the Savior that the world has or can ever
