Ems DOOM OF OUR WoRLD.-Thc North Bri-

dare not even conjecture, but we see in the
asens themselves some traces of destructive
,rnen,s and some indications of their power
ie fragments OF broken planets-the descent of
steoric stones upon our globe-the wheeling
bets welding their loose materials at the So
surface-the appearance ofnew stars and the
appearance of others, are foreshadows of that
lpendinC CONFUSION to which the system OF the
bid is doomed. Thus placed on planet which
q be burnt up, and under heavens which are to
ed away, thus treading as it were on the Gene
ries and dwelling on the mausoleums of former
oflds, let us learn the lesson of humanity and
isdom, if we have not already been taught in the
hool Of revolution"
