IN THE VALLEY OF UMTJ HAPUKU A thousand years o'er thee passed, Ten thousand suns hath shone. Giant defying time's withering blasts, still thou stand'st alone. Relit of the once proud forest, Relic of a by-gone time, Remuant of the wild-wood's splendours, Robust still thy verdant prime. Nursed by westering winds'warm kisseß,* Fondled by the soft spring air, Cradled in the vale's green bosom, Object worthy thou of care. Sturdy bole, wide branched, leaf-laden, Glittering in the evening sun, Berries like cherries hiding, Scarlat tinted every one. Solemn tree! what memories linger, Clinging with a weird unrest, Noting with time's wizard finger, Actions of the past unblest Cruel message, grievous errand, Often echoed in thine ear, Anxious, restless years have passed thee, Witnessed since thy advent here. Passed away the wail, the laughter, Paßped away the fret, the care, Passed away the toil, the triumph, Passed, all's passed—a bleak despair. Lingering, brooding o'er these r>astnre3, Linger doomlike on thee hills, Linger turning all to sadness; Lingering death this valley fills. Never now the Maori listening, Pensive, down this upland glade; Closed his ears to the whispering Sunbeamed anthems, in thy shade. Sleeping Tu, again awake thee! Slumber not too long, too long, Listless, thou hast lost the freedom Rangi bestows upon the strong. Ponder 'neath the grand tree's shade, Borrow from its massive crest, Courage, that ever nerves the brave, Conquer self, then thou'lt be West. Loud sounds the alarming Whaka-ara cry, Sfiiirlet belted Tu no longer sleeps, Thunders his war cry to the sky, "Rally yp Toas"! "Women cease to weep." .. Note: 1. "Tu," the Maori Mars or God of War2. "Rangi," the Maori Creator, Tane nui a Rangi. 3. "Whaka-ara," sentry's alarm. 4. "Toas," warriors or hraves. —T.W.P. Wellington, 3rd January, 1881. [One of the sights of Taranaki is the. ffrent nuriri tree fn the bush at "Brooklands," New Plymouth. Tf, was probably a substantia! tree be.fore the commencement of the Christian era. Hence the above.]

be far-reaching and disastrous effects of the Au»ira>sian marine engineers' strike was revealed in some statistics contained in a private- letter received the other day. The correspondent, writing from Sydney under date of February 23rd, 'mentions, among other things, that, quite a number of , coalmines and many factories had. been compelled to close down, and that approximately 50,000' workers had been thrown out off employment, This,, in turn, had resulted in disaster to many traders, especially small simp-keepers, and as demonstrating how severely the grocery trade, had been hit, the fact ■is recorded that during the week preceding the dwte of writing no fewer than .''oo grocery businesses were advertised for sale' in one of the Sydney daily papers.. It is said that the following conversation took place between a mam;ber of Parliament and a waterside | worker before the Molcoia. sailed for Samoa. :-~M.P.. : .
