I ROTO I TE WHARE-WHAKAWA.
Te Korero Teka.
Nui atu te mamae o matou ngakau i te kilenga i roto i te nu-pepa nui o Turanga nei i etahi korero epa ana ki te iwi Maori i runga i nga whakawakanga. Te mea tuatahi ko te korero teka o tetahi taha ; ko tehea taha, kaore ano Ida tino mohiotia, engari kua tukua ma te Hupirimi Kooti e titiro. Te take o te whakawa he patunga na tetahi tangata i tetahi, otira i te whakawakanga hoha ana te kai-whakawa i te taupatupatu noa iho o nga korero, a whakakorea ana tana keehi, engari i mea ia e tino marama ana kotahi te taha e tino teka ana nga korero, mete ki ano a nga pakeha he mahi tonu na te Maori te korero teka i roto i te whare-whakawa. I tino mamae d matou ngakau mo tenei kupu he iwi korero teka taua te Maori, otira e tino mohio ana ano matou he tika tonu taua whakapae mo tetahi o enei tangata tokorua. Kei te mea pea te tangata kite korero teka ia e whakaputa ana ia.i tona matauranga. Toho ! toho ! Na runga i enei tikanga i kiia ai taua te Maori he iwi taurekareka. He iwi rangatira taua te Maori, kaati kia rangatira nga whakaaro nga kupu nga mahi; kaua e whakatutua i te tangata.
Nga Mahi Tohunga. Muri tata iho i tenei whakawa ka tu ano tetahi mo te karangatanga a tetahi wahine i tetahi atu he “ kauramokai.” I puta ai te kupu nei i a A he whakaaro nona na E i makutu tona tamaiti i pangia ai e te mate ; i puta ano tona kupu ka tukua e ia he kehua hei ngau ia E. Ete Maori! ete Maori! Ka kino te haere ate kehua! Kehua eweri tciima ! I tino miharo te kai-whakawa mo te porangi o te Maori kite whakapono ki enei tu mahi, i mea ia he mea pai kia mahia he ture e te Kawanatanga hei tino whiu i nga Maori e mahi tohunga ana. I whai-korero ano hold te rangatira o nga pirihimana, i mea ia kua whakahaua e te Kawanatanga kia hopukia nga tohunga maori e hangarau ana i te turoro, a kite rongo ia kei te pera tetahi tohunga i Turanga nei ka mauria eiaki te ture. Na, e nga tohunga maori, e nga tohunga paraurehe o Waikato kia tupato. Tirotiro marire! I Porangi i te Aroha. Te tino korero pouri rawa ia ko te whakawakanga o Rapata Paraire ki Nepia mo tona kohurutanga i tona wahine. I whakarerea ia e tona wahine, katahi ia ka whai haere kia hoki mai ano tona wahine ki a ia. I tae ia ki Heretaunga whai haere ai, otira kore rawa nga whakaaro o tona wahine i hoki mai ki a ia. Katahi ia ka haere ki a Te Piwa, he tino tohunga maori. I mea mai aTe Piwa ki te hoatu e Rapata te £$ ka hoki mai tona wahine ki a ia. I whakaritea e Te Piwa hei te wa e moe ai te wahine ra ka whawhao ai i te hikipene ki waenganui i nga matimati o te waewae, ka whakatakoto ki runga o te waewae o te uma, ka whawhao ai ki roto o te waha. Mahi noa, mahi noa, kore rawa te wahine ra i tahuri mai. I muri mai ka mea aTe Piwa kia pangaia kia 3s. sd. ki ona waewae. No te kitenga o Rapata e kore raw r a e hoki mai tona wahine ki a ia ka puta ki waho tangi ai, ko te putanga atu o tona wahine ka mea atu ki a ia “ Kati te maumau i o roimata, e haere ana au ki taku tane hou.” I runga i enei kupu ka ngaro katoa nga whakaaro o Rapata, ka kohurutia hoki e ia tona wahine, i tino wetiweti rawa tona patunga. Muri iho ka haere ia ki waenganui ote patiki tangi ai. Te whakataunga e whitu tau mona kite whare-herehere. E te iwi, ma koutou e ata matakitaki nga kino, nga tinihanga a nga tohunga maori. I mea te kai-whakawa kia whakaakona te Maori kia mohio ai ratou kite teka noa iho o nga mahi a nga tohunga maori.
