TIE WohkD's DooM.-The North
British Review thus comments on
whatit is pleased to call the "doom
of our world :" "What this change
is to be we do not even conjecture !;
but we see in the heavens themselves
some traces Of the destructive ele-
mcnts, and some indications Of their
power. The fragments OF broken
planets, the descent of met eoric stones
upon the globe, the wheeling tometb
Welding their loose materials at the
solar surface, the volcanic cruptions
on our own satellite, the appearance
of new stars and disappearance of
Others, are all foreshadows Of that
impending cohVulsion to which the
entire system Of the world is doomed /.
Thus placed on planet which is to
be burned up, and Under heavens that
are to pass away--thus treading as it
Were on tho cemeteries of former
worlds, and dwelling in the mauso.

lessons Of humility and wisdom"
