HE TUPAPAKU.
Kite Etita oTe Pipiwhanmroa. EH A tena koe, koutou tahi ko ou boa. Ma te Atua koutou e manaaki, e whakakaha kite mahi i tana e pai ai. E manu he obonga moe ake i tenei wa, na te mamae, na te pouri, na te aroba, ki to matou papa kua wehe atu nei i a matou, koia i tika ai tenei whakaatu ki a koe. Man e tobatoha atu a matou kupu aroba mona, ara mo te Atimana Wharerau. I mate ia i te 27 o Aperira i te tau o to tatou Ariki 1912. He kaumatua nui, he pou herenga kupu na ona tupuna tuku iho ki a ia. He pou ano ia no te whakapono, o tona itinga mai ra ano. Fie tangata e mate nuitia ana e te katoa, he aroha, he atawhai kite tangata; no reira i nui ai te aroha mona. He tino kaumatua nui tenei. I whanau ia i te tau 1828, ona tau e 84. E 60 nga tau i tu ai ia i te tunga kai-karakia. I urn ia ki nga mahi o te Tiriti o Waitangi, a ko ia tetahi o nga kaumatua kaha i te hapai i nga tikanga ote Kotahitanga ote Motu. He uri hohou rongo ia no ona tipuna iho. Ko to ratou whakatauki tenei:— " Ka toto te puna i Hokianga, ka mimiti te puna i Taumarere, te rere i Tiria te kete i Tangariki." "Tamnarere herehere riri, herehere tangata." "Ehara te katoa he purupuru, he taka; ka pa tana ko ahau ko te titi, ko te aporei, ko taina purupuru marie, ko te angaanga titi iho i te rangi." Na ona tipuna enei whakatauki na konei i nui ai te aroba ki to matou matua. I nehua tona tinana ite 30 o nga ra o Aperira. Na Rev. Pene Topi i nebu. Heoi ra e manu, man e tuku atu ena kupu ki nga iwi, ki nga hapu, ki nga reo, ki nga huibuinga tangata. HE WAIATA. Engari te titi whai tokorua rawa raua. Tena ko an nei e manu e, kei te huakiwi i inahne i te lawai. Ka toro te rakau kei runga, Ka hoki mai kite po, ka whai uri kite ao. Noku ano ra ko te wareware, Te whaia atu te lira haere, No Kawiti ma whakangaro atu ana. Nga hiwi inaunga ki Waiomio ra ia. Te ringihia kite roimata e, Ki te rere au ki Otarawa ia. Ko koe anake e Miri i mahuo iho nei e. Hoi heteri kiritai ki Taumarere ra ia. K 1 titiro noa atu ki waho ra e. He tima heera e rere atu ra o. Whakatika rawa ake ki runga ra. Ka momotu ki tawhiti ma wai ara e whai am e i. Ko tana waiata whakamutunga tenei, ka hemo ia. E manu kia ora. Na to boa, HeNARE 'AUKA. Taumarere. 3 Mei, 1912.
