The World's Doom.

The North British Review thus comments on what it is pleased to call, “The doom of the world:” What this change is to be, we do not even conjecture; but we see in the heavens themselves some traces of the destructive elements, and some indication of their power. The fragments of broken planets, the descent of meteoric stones upon the globe, the wheeling comets wielding their loose material at the solar surface, the volcanic eruptions on our own satellite, the appearance of new stars, and the disappearance of others, are all foreshadowings of that impending convulsion to which the entire system of the world is doomed. Thus placed on a planet which is to be burned up, and under heavens that are to pass away, thus treading as it were on the cemeteries of former worlds, and dwelling in the mausoleums of other planets, let us learn lessons of humility and wisdom.
