Excerpt from The Mayor of Wind-Gap, Vol. 1 of 2 Maurteen Maher seemed rather an elderly man, yet quite alert in all his movements. He was tall and thin, with angular features, a sallow com. Plexion and a shrewd eye; and although many might call him illlfavoured, there was something inviting in his smile, and respectable in the steady intelligence of his look. The general expression of his face was, however, habit of observation, and a consciousness of intellectual superiority, perhaps ostentatiously displayed. His grayish well-combed hair fell in great profusion on his shoulders, yet he wore over it, - or rather over half of it, - a wig of three buckles; his hat was very broad-brimmed; his loose outside edat had an ample cape, and was drawn and held tight round his waist by a belt of horse-skin, which also performed the duty of sus pending his fishing-panier.

Excerpt from Thes Mayor of Wind-Gap and Canvassing AN evening in the fine fresh month of May. Those Ephemera called, by some anglers, the May-fly, by some others the Green Drake and by those, out of our country whatever they may choose, had emerged in great abundance from their long imprisonment beneath the waters, and were now fulfilling the purposes of their brief atmospheric life. They swarmed in the slanting sun-beams Whisking their (to them) long tails, and fluttered their mottled wings, with such an appearance of thorough enjoyment, that it seemed as if their new state of being, was to be altogether devoted to worldly revelry and thoughtless love-making. In a very short time, however, the contingent and inevitable cares, to which every animate atom is liable, engrossed them. They settled down upon the water, from which they had arisen, preparing for a voyage (literally a voyage down the stream of life). Their wings, lately so alert, were, in order to serve them as sails during the voy age, soberly closed together. And as the current carried them along, they shed their ovea upon it, that a new race might be ensured, who should frolic in the May-beam of the ensuing year. Their pro vidential responsibility thus discharged, they drooped and died, liter having been but for a few hours the denizens of the breeze, which had summoned them into their aerial existence.
