POETRY.
Portland in 1875.

[Mr. Charles P. Ilsley has published series
II poems having for their theme the past,
present and future Of Portland. The veteran
writer entities them "Centennials of Portland,
675. 1875, 1875, 1875" We give an extract
rom his picture of Portlandi century hence.
The complete work is for sale at all our book

III Portlandersl
All this and more my wondering eyes
FAILED not at once TO recognize;
But when they turned from scenes afar
And scanned the broad peninsula
That lay extended at my feet,
My growing marvel was complete.
For 10! the space from shore to shore
With solid blocks was covered o'erj
Warehouse on warehouse multiplied
Throughout its bounds rose side by side.
Upon this Neck saw no trace
OF tenements for dwelling place,
But in the distance, far apart
From noise and turmoil Of the mart,
Thousands of roofs within my ken
Proclaimed at once the homes Of men.
No wharves unsightly as was won't,
Disfgured now the city's front,
But granite quays of massive strength
Adorned each side the harbor's length;
For POrtland's bounds extended Ger
The limits of the reverse shore,
And old Purpooduck with just pride
In trade and commerce with her wed.
Far as the vision could explore
Her rising slopes were covered DER
With structures fair that would, / wis,
Grace well proud metropolis.
And there were villas by the sea-
Abodes of wealth and luxury,
And neat yet humber cottages
That spoke of thrift and prosperous ease.
Bridge saw none in my strange dream,
But unobstructed swept the stream
Around "Clark's Point" and Bramhail' 3 hei ght,
Whence might be seen go0dly sight
A throng Of shipping dense and vast,
maze of funnel, spar and mast;
Huge buildings crowdlng either shore,
Whence came the deep incessant roar,
The all-pervading undertone
To swarming cities only known.
On either hand, look where might,
Some new surprise engaged my sight;
In lieu of bridge, beneath the tide
A tunnel vast Its need supplied,
And multitudes in safety sped
Beneath the rivers oozy bed:
As ceaseless as the tidal flow
A living current to and fro
Surged far the channels depths below!
Thus partially have portrayed .
The revelations to me made;
Sketched to your view a dim outline
Of scenes distinct and clear to NINE
Distinct unto my inner sense

Snow Blindness.

Here is n preventative Of snow blindness
(says a travellcrl, which | heard of when in
California in 1873. 1 was told that any
one having TO travel upon snow in sunshine.
If they blackcncd the skin round the eyes
for about an inch, snow blindness would be
prevented, Any kind of black pant. or n
burnt stick. is all that is needed to avoid
what is most painful-and l can speak Of
it from experience, having suffered while
crossing some of the high passes of tho
Himalayas. The remedy here given seemed
to me curious, and / could scarcely believe
it sufficient to accomplish the result; but
further inquiries confirmed what / was told.
AT least, it was stated to me that tho old
trappers in the Sierra Nevadas used this
precaution us a protection to their eyes. 1t
was also stated that the same means were
used by the people connected with the
Hudson's Bay Company, and that they
again first Of all learnt Of it from the In-
dams. l have not had au opportunity of
testing this myself. but If you give it pub
licity it may be of use to all those who
nre goingl on Arctic expeditions; to tho
members of the Alpine Club ought to
say of the Alpine Clubs. for there are many
