liable and indispensable work has just been is
sued by the Publishers, Messrs Walter Heugh

expense has been spared in the production of
the present volume, to make it complete and
reliable. In typographical appearance and
binding, certainly it is fine specimen of book
making. 1t contains over one hundred pages
more matter than the last years volume,
which has added largely to the cost of the pro-
duction of the work, and compelled the Pub

bound edition at One Dollar per copy, upon the
receipt of which sum they will forward the
work to any address in the United States or

ST. SwITHIN's DAY.-The 18th inst. Sunday
was St. Swithin's day. about which the old
English couplet runs as follows:
at. Smithin's day, gif We do rain, for forty days
it will remain;
st. Swithin's day, an We be fair, for forty days
twill rain nae MAR.
The legend about this plureal Saint is that St.
Swithin, bishop of Winchester. who died S62
desired to be buried in the church-yard of the
minister, that the "sweet rain Of heaven might
fall upon his grave"
At canonization the monks thought to honor
the Saint by removing his body into the choir,
and fixed the 18th of July for the ceremony: but
1t rained day after day for forty days. that the
monks saw the Saint was averse to their project
and wisely abandoned it.
Whether the gentle shower ON the 18th inst
was sufficient indication of the Saints inten-
ton to verify this old legend for the next forty
days remains to be seen but those who believe
in the Saint; or would act as the "wise man."
