HE KUPU MO NGA MATE.
Ka kitea, i roto i te panuitanga tangata mate, i tenei nupepa, nga ingoa o Tahana Turoa, Te Matenga Peraro, Pene Te Poakaroro, me Tutehourangi. Ko Tahana Turoa na, he tama na te kaumatua na Pehi Turoa, ote taha ki runga o Whanganui. I mua ai he tangata whawhai ia kite Pakeha; engari no nga tau o muri nei ka whakakotahi ia ka piri tonu ki te Kawanatanga. I whakaturia taua tangata hei Ateha Maori, a i rite tonu tona kaha kite hapai ite Ture ki tona kaha o mua kite takahi ite Ture. I mahia tonutia ia e Takuta Eara, o Whanganui, otira he mate marire ano, e kore e ora. Ko onakupuporoporoaki enei:—" Kia piri kite Pakeha, kia hoa kite Pakeha." Ko Te Matenga Peeaeo he tangata e arohaina nuitia ana e tona iwi, te Whanau-a-te-Hutu, mo tona ahua pai, ngawari, me tona whakaaro nui kite oranga mo te iwi; kaore e rangona te kupu riri i tona waha. He tangata hapai nui ite Ture. No te timatanga o Mei kua taha nei ipa ai tona mate; a no te 25 o Hurae, i runga ano i tana whakahau, ka mauria mai ia i Whakatane, na runga i te poti-weera, ka mauria mai ki Te Kaha, tona kainga tuturu, kia mate rawa ake ia i tona kainga ano. I haere ia ki Whakatane, ratou ko te iwi nana nei i hanga te whare whakairo i korerotia ite Waha Maori ote3o o Hune. Ite 29 o Hurae kua mohio nga tangata katoa kua tata ia te mate. Heoi, ko te tahuritanga mai kite iwi ka waiata i te waiata nei, a ka mate : Hai konei ra, e te iwi i te ao ; Ka haere ia au kite pouriuri, Kite potangotango ki tua o Paerau, I pepehatia ai na. E ono te kau nga tangata o te iwi nana i mau te tupapaku kite urupa ; kaore he kakahu ote tangata, he mea paid nga horo i muri i te kai mau o te tupapaku. Ko nga tangata mau pu 150, aki hai rawa i mutumutu te tangi ate pu i nga maero e toru. Ko te iwi katoa i muri i enei; i huihui mai i nga kainga katoa o taua takiwa—nga tane, nga wahine, me nga tamariki. I nui te hakari a enei wiki ki a ratou ano. Ko Pene Te Poakaeoeo, e korerotia mai ana," he rangatira taua tangata, he mokopuna na Turangapeke." Eki ana e wha te kau nga Pakeha i haere i te kawenga atu kite poka, a" i nui te aroha o aua Pakeha ki a ia, ki tona pouaruhoki, ki a Mere Pene." He nui te whakahouhou i etahi tanumanga tupapaku o mua, i te haurangi tonu o nga tangata i haere kite tangi; no reira ka pehia rawatia e Rangiauru te kai waipiro i taua ra, a pai ana, kaore he raruraru. Ko Tutehoueangi he rangatira, o te taha ki runga o Whanganui, e arohaina nuitia ana e tona iwi—ko te tikanga katoa mo te iwi kei a ia. I mate ia ki Manganuia-te-Ao, i te taha ki runga o Whanganui, i tona hokinga atu i te taone o Whanganui, he haerenga mai nona ki reira kia kite i a itihari Wunu, Kai-whakawa. HE TANGI MO TUTEHOURANGI. Na tona tuahine na Te Kuba Kahemorhre. (He mea whakarite kite ahua ote -waiata Pakeha e Teoti H. Wirihana, Pakeha.) Tera te nira hikohiko ana mai Ki Tongariro — Ka haruru kite rangi, Ka maka te hukarere. 0 tohu ! e Tu, 1 tuku atu ai
Xia hua ake au He matamata ariki koe ; Ka rongo to nuinga E kuika noa nei. Tahuri mai e pa E anga kite Uru, Ki to matua ra E whakapuke mai ra. Te raamae ki a koe Tenei e koro. Ka maunu te Taniwha i te rua; Ka whakahemo ko aku manu koa nui i te ata, Taku manu korero kai o Runanga maha. K"aku i tuku atu ki roto o Whangamii, Ka moe kite one. Kai Kanilii, kai Whakaniko— E takoto ana mai, e, i.
