when from this weaiy heart, Has ebbed life's purple tide. May it be mine, 'mongst those I've loved, To rest on thy green side. " In June, 1858, when the Morning Journal was started by Mr. Robert Somers, that gentleman succeeded in engag- ing Mr. Macdonald for the literary department of the paper, and in this connection he continued till it was brought to a melancholy and abrupt termination by death on 16th March, 1860. Before transferring his services to the new daily, the "Rambler" was enterta...ined to a public dinner in the Royal Hotel, George Square, which was presided over by Mr. James Hedderwick, and attended by a number of mer- cantile, literally, and artistic friends. In January, 1860, Macdonald commenced in the Morning Journal a series of papers entitled " Footsteps of the Year, " whicli were to be continued on through all the months of that year. But alas ! they came to a premature end with the second montli of the year. Early in March he had made a pilgrimage to Castle- milk to see the snowdrops, for, like summer at the " Castle o' INIontgomerie, " there they are first unfolded, and there they " langest tarry, " and he returned, took to his bed, and before his last illness was generally known, he expired in the 43rd year of his age, leaving a widow and family of one son and four daughters in comparative poverty.
