Disappearance of Nebulae.

--The discovery of the disappearance of one or two in the heavens has excited the liveliest interest among astronomers. So unlooked for a phenomenon fairly startles the hardest understanding. Objects hitherto regarded as firm, enduring, and fixed as the pillars of the universe, have been found as unstable as an autumnal meteor. What great revolution in astronomy is about here to be made, no one can conjecture. The awful mystery only heightens on reflection, and vague, shadowy forebodings of the ‘"rottenness of the pillared firmament"’ crowd upon the imagination.--Boston Courier.
