Te Waka Maori. PO NEKE, TUREI, HUNE 22, 1875. TE TAKARO HIANGA.
Ko nga mea katoa hei whakawai i te tangata, he takaro hianga pea te mea nui rawa. I nga wa katoa ote ao, ahakoa iwi maiangi kite tihi ote matauranga, ahakoa iwi ngaro noa ite kuaretanga, kahore he mea kino hei whai i tenei mea te takaro hianga. 1 tango kite Icari ko taua ahua tonu, —i tango kite mu, he pera tonu te tukunga iho, he whakahaurangi tera i te ngakau a, oho rawa ake te mauri, he matenga no te tangata. Ko te putake ote malii takaro penei he mea kino, maha noatu nga he e ahu mai ana kite tangata i runga i taua mea. Ko te mea tera hei whakakawa i te ngakau, hei kawe ke i nga whakaaro pai hei whakatutu tetahi ki tetahi, hei wehe ke ite tamaiti mete matua, hei whakaheke hoki ite toto ote tokomaha. He tahae, he kohuru nga hoa haere tahi 1 roto i taua mea. BTe Korero teka, he tinihanga nga kai hapai mo taua mahi hianga. I~le whakarawakore hoki tana i te hunga whai taonga, a he whakataurekareka ite hunga rawakore. Tahuri noa te tangata kite patu iaia ite whakaporangitanga a tera mea a te Icari. A he tokomaha nga tangata e patua ana i runga i taua takaro, ara e kohuru ana te tangeta i a ia ano ; mate tahi te tinana mete wairua. Ko nga tangata pai me nga tangata whakaaro nui o nga wa kua pahure nei i tino whakapuaki i nga tikanga kia wehi ai te tangata ki tera kino, kia whakarerea ai e ia. He mea ngau puku tenei mea te takaro hianga, e kore rawa e whakaae te tini o nga iwi o te ao ki tera tu mea, ko nga iwi kuare anake nga mea e whakatika ana ki taua tikanga pouri. Mehemea ka kitea taua mahi i roto i nga iwi o te matauranga ko nga tangata nana i whakahaere ka whiua e te ture, ka whainatia ka tukua ranei kite whare-herehere. He maha o matou korerotanga i mua mo te pouri o o matou ngakau i te rongonga kua mahi pera nga tangata Maori, ara te takaro hianga kite kari. E rongo tonu ana matou i nga wa katoa nei, kei te tohe tonu koutou ki tera mahi kino. E mea atu ana matou ki o matou hoa maori, kia whakaaroa* mariretia e ratou te tukunga iho o tenei he e whakapaingia nei e ratou. Mehemea ka riro te moni te taonga ranei i tetahi i tenei ra, ka riro ano i te hoa takaro i tetahi atu ra. Meiriro ana te moni i tetahi, he matenga tena mo te hoa takaro. He whiwhinga pai ranei tena ite taonga o te hoa ? He maumau tena i te ra, 'engari me ahuwhenua te tangata kia whai taonga ai me ngaki i te whenua, me whano-ai i te poaka ite kau, kia whiwhi ai kite kai, kite kakahu, mete moni ma nga wahine me nga tamariki. Na, e a matou hoa Maori, he hunga whakaaro koutou —whakaarohia e koutou tenei tikanga, ko tehea ranei te tikanga pai kite aroaro ote Atua me te tangata, he tangata kaha kite mahi ite kai hei oranga mona, he tangata noho tahanga ranei i muri iho o te rironga.ojte rawa i tona hoa hianga tahi!
