Saint Swithin's Day.

Sunday was Saint Swithin's day
and if it had rained on that day
there would not haYe been another
Sunday for six coming weeks but
it didn't and so the Sundays will be
fair.
This is according to the old legend
which is religiously believed in
many parts Of England, and for a
week the boys and girls over there
were busy invoking the good will Of
the late st. Swithin.
The saint was the bishop Of Win
chester and was noted for upright
ness and humility. So far did he
carry the latter virtue that on his
deathbed ne requested that he be
not buried in the church, but that
his body be laid to rest in the
churchyard, north Of the sacred
building, where his corpse might
receive the eavesdroppings from the
roof and his grave be trodden by
the feet Of passersby.
His lowly request was complied
with, and in this neglected spot his
remains reposed until about 100
years afterward, when a fit Of pious
