ST SWITHIN'S DAY.

According to tradition tomorrow Will
determine those regions OF the woriu
that will be wet aud those that will 60
dry for the next 40 days from July 10.
II is St Swithin's Day. and many years
ago its poet wrote OF 1t:
St Swithin's Dav. gin it he fair.
For forty DAYS twill nae MAR:
Ct Swithiu's Day gin ii do rain,
For forty days il will remain.
St. Swithin was chaplain to Egbert
King of England, and was tutor to
Egbert's son, Ethclwulf. He was AZ
terward bishop of Winchester, and died
in SGD. He was buried, according to
his own wishes, outside the cathedral
OF Winchester. where the rain Of heaven
could fall upon his grave.
But when the bishop was canonlzed
as St. Switlin, about century after
his death, the monks thought his grave
too lowly for SO great man, ana they
preparcd to move his body to \ hand
some crypt inside the cathedral. July
Is was the day set for the removal OF
his remains, but on that day heavy
rain set in and prevented any attempt
to move the body.
The rain continued intermlttently
for 40 days and the monks took this
as a sign OF the displessure OF heaven
at the proposed removal and allowed
the body to remain where the SAINT
had decreed and requested before his
death
