DUdALD McDONALD was born on the Isle
of Skye. Scotland, January 0th.
17У0.
and iininl
grated to thia eouutry with hie parents in 1803.
At about the age of ten. he wna reired witli that
. terrible malady "King’s Evil." Irora which he
never i*o recovered as to be able to aland on Ids
feet or walk. Tho lKin«*e ot hia hips t»n*l lower
extremities split and pieces protruded through
the lleah four and live Inches long, aud so excru¬
ciating was the pain and suffering that his
shrieks and cries were heard for more than
а
mile. For long and weary months lie knew no
I thing but pain and Buffering. And added to this j
; bodily torture he imagined the Evil ono visibly
1 present with him day and night, seeking to do- ,
stroy hia soul. But at length he was delivered
from hia tormentor by faith in Him who “bruised
the serpent's head.” and while on earth cast un ,
clenn spirits out of those possessed, and hence¬
forth Christ was to him "all and in all.” As
aoon na he was able to bear it, at hia own re
quest. he was carried to the sanctuary and joined
Union church (In Moopr) then under the pastoral
care of Rev. Murdoch McMillan. He was a living
member of tho body of Christ: punctual in his
| nttendace on the means of grace when able, and
liberal In their support.
i Alter years of physical suffering, his pains
were abated and hie ulcerated limbs partially
healed,
но
that he could turn hia tuind to ihoac-
I i|uisition of knowledge, for which ho liud a great
thirst. But the obstacles in tho way were great
! and such as would have been insuperable to one
of lose perseverance and vigor of mind. Being
so crippled that he could not get to school, his
i only opportunity of learning his letters was
. from his brothers and sisters when they return
i ed from school. From them, ns they studied
j their lessons by the tiro, ho learned the Alphabet,
to spell and to read, and by constant perse ver-
• ance
Ьи
Mum acquired quite an accurate know-
. ledge of the English language. He was a good
I pensuian nnd composed many touching hymns,
1 some of which, with a little polish, would com¬
pare favorably with many in coiuiuou use.
Finding a lost leaf of a (indie hymn book, it
prompted a desire to learn his mother tongue,
nnd under the occasional tuition of Messrs. D.
j McNeill nndJ.Blnck, elders of Union church,
| he soon Ix-came a proficient in that language.
) Being without a
во
Bible ho was presented
with one by Rev. Colin Mclver, and a Testa
ment by Mr. A. McRliumon. These he read from
I day to ."lav. they were hia constant cmupaniou?<,
I and contributed much to hie growth iu grace
' aud in tho knowledge ot‘ his Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ. But hie muane were too limited
I for him to devote all hia time to the acquisition
( of knowledge. Necessity required him to make
some effort for ft livelihood, and he turned his
1 attention to the varioun mechanisms within his
power. Ilo was a mechanical genius.— ho first
made aleys and sitting chairs, lie then learned
j the tailor’s trade, which by energy and a largo
custom, be accumulated considerable property,
and bought negroes which he found to be a
1 source of great trouble and expense. But tho
| influx of ready-made clothing mode his trade
unprofitable, aud he sold off part of his property
and engaged in merchandising. At this he did
I not prosper, too many unprincipled creditors
took advantage of his kind heart nnd generous
disposition, received his goods without ever re
I numerating him for them, aud when the war
closed, lie was nearly as destitute of means for a|
support as when h« commenced.
Still, with all Us iintive energy he engaged ini
, his various trades again, making sleys, shoes,
