HE WHAKAMARAMA.

Ki te Etita o Te Pipiwhamuroa. EPA tena koe utaina atu koa ga kupu i raro iho nei ki a kite a Puhi Kaiariki me on a boa. Ki a Puhi Kaiariki.— E boa, tena koe; kaore ahau i te wareware ki aku kupu tohutohu kite iwi Maori mo te ahmhenua, egari ko ou boa, me o tuakana, me o teina, me koe ano hoki i totobe ki au, i mea mai korua ki au ko te mahi tika ma te iwi Maori me riihi katoa ga \henua. E kore te iwi Maori e mohio ki te ahu\henua kite mahi pamu. Penei ite iwi Pakeha. Na i mea atu au ki a koutou i ga paiga o te ahu\henua, ki taku i kite iho ai ki au ano ; o toku timataga kite ahu\henua, a tae mai kite wa i totohe ai tatou. Ko ga paiga o te tagata ahmhenua, kei te noho tata tonu te moni i ga ra katoa o te tau, ara, ka

puare noa ga Tad tuku moni kite tagata mahi pamu, tupato hoki. He maha ga taimaha kei mua i te aroaro o ia tagata o ia tagata; ara, ga reiti, ga taka \henua, ga riana ruri-\henua, ga reiti apiti, ga kakahu mo te tagata mete moega, ga kai ma te tagata. ga matega tupapaku, ga manuhiri eke mai; kaore he tahurihuritaga ki maui ki matau o te tagata ahu\henua, no te mea kei a ia ga mea katoa e rite ana ; ara, te kuao momona, te korau, te taewa, te miraka, te pata, te moni mo tetahi kutaga paraoa, huka ranei. Heoi, kore rawa koe i diakaae, tohe tonu koe mo te tuku katoa i ga \henua kite riihi. Na i ki atu ano au ki a koe he tagata mohio koe, egad maharatiakoa enei kupu aku mo te riihi dienua. E 0110 pea, tekau ma rua ranei marama katahi koe ka kite i te moni riihi. Kua kite ahau iga Maori i noho i ruga i te moni riihi, egari no te wa i puta ai ga pire mo ga reiti, mega taka, kua tono kite tagata i a ia te riihi. Na kaore i roa kua hipa ga moni nama ki mua o te ra tago reti. I mud mai ka liemo te dianauga tupu, na kua nama kai ma ga tagihaga ; muri mai kua eke te manuhiri haere, na kua nama : te taega kite ra tago ote retina kua hipa ga nama. I muri o tena kua mea mai te kai tago riihi, O ! kua nui rawa o nama kore au e hoatu, egari me hoko rawa mai to dienua katahi au ka hoatu moni mo to hiahia. Na ka tupu i kona te mate, a riro atu te '.henna. Ko te mahi ahmhenua he paiga mo te hiahia 0 te ariki, he paiga mo te pakete. Kaore koe 1 \hakaae, heoi ra tena \hakaaturia o mahara ko te\hea te mea tika hei paiga hei oraga tinana tagata, mete pakete o te rautete ; kua kite hoki koe i te he mete tika o a taua totohe ; tukua to \hakaatu kite Pipi. Mehemea ko te riihi \henua te mea nui ake te paiga ite mahi ahmhenua. Na mo taku moni i pau mo te araitaga i te waipiro kia kanaka e haria ki ruga o te awa o \Haganui. E hoa kaore ra koe i adiina i au a heaha koia te kino ipa ki taku tinana i kitea e koe mo taku arai ite waipiro i ruga i taku mahara kai pa te rawakoretaga ki ga morelm o ruga ote awa o AHaganui. Na eho 1 kei te mohio tonu koe, itewa i haere ai a Wiki Taitoko ki Peihairagi ka Vnakaatu ia ki teiwi o \Haganui ite kupu nei, ko ga diakahaere mo te iwi i muri nei ka waihotia eauki a Te Kahu. Na ka pa mai tona kupu ki au, ara, ka mea mai, e Kahu kia pai te tiaki i te iwi, i ga morehu ; kia kaha, kia aroha ki o morehu. Na e Puhi i riri ra koe ki au mo taku a\hinataga i te Katipa hopu i ga \hanako hoko waipiro. Na no naianei kua mohio koe kua tika taku ne ? Kaua hei pouri e Puhi,

ko te tino mea ia kai roto i au e tumanako ana ko te pooti meraa etu mai nei. Ko toku hiahia Ida noho ano ko tenei Kawanataga ki 0 ratou nohaga ka tino mohio ai tatau kite tutuldtaga o a tatau wawata o ga ra i mahue ake nei. Name pehea etu ai tenei Kawanataga hei \hakarite i o tatou hiahia, mehemea ka kore tatau e adiina iga pooti. Mehemea 1 pa tetahi mate ki a koe a era atu Kawanataga kaua hei haria mai e to gakau hei take maualiara, hei pouri ranei mo te gakau ki tenei Kawanataga, egari me \hakapiri koe kite Kawanataga, Ida ahei ai koe kite ata diakamarama ki tenei Kawanataga i ta mate, me to pouri, a era e taea te vhakatikatika, egari mehemea ka tu koe hei hoariri mo tenei Kawanataga a, ko wai hold e tahuri atu kite ata titiro i tou mate, mehemea ra e vhai ana tatou kite pai mete ora. Eki ana te tuhituhi, kaua e utua te kino kite kino, egari utua te kino ki te pai; ko Ihowa te kigi ote pai, ko Hatana te kigi o te kino, ko waipiro tana tamaiti aroha nui.
