VOL. II.] AUCKLAND, AUGUST 20, 1862.—AKARANA, AKUHATA 20, 1862. [No. 11,
"Good books are like true friends they will never fail us ; never cease to instruct never cloy." THE first Runanga of the Mangonui District, under the superintendence of Mr. White, has just terminated, and all parties, both Maori and Eu-ropean, seem to have been greatly pleased with the result. We are glad to place on record Mr. Clarke's opinion of Mr. White, that "he is in every respect well qualified to conduct" the affairs of "the European and Native popula-tion of the District;" and equally-pleased are we to record Mr, White's opinion, that the Rarawa people are " more quiet and orderly, and more amenable to law, than any of the other tribes of New Zealand," There are in the Mangonui Dis-trict seven Chiefs of the Runanga, two Wardens, and fourteen kareres

We are unable to gratify pur readers at present, by placing before them a report of the proceedings which took place at the second Maori Parliament held in this country ; but it is not too much to expect that our Mangonui friends will be found as capable of managing their local affairs, as their near neighbours of the Bay of Islands District.te kau ma wha. Whakahaere tahi ai enei ko to ratou hoa ko Te Waiti, ki te hapai i nga tikanga waimarie a Ta Hori Kerei, mo te kawanatanga o nga iwi Maori. E kore e taea te whakatakoto ki te aroaro o nga kai korero, kia ahua-reka ai ratou, nga tikanga katoa i mahia ki te Paremeta tuarua i turia ki tenei motu ; ko te mea ia, e uara ake ana te ngakau, ae, e pera ano te tika o nga mahi o tenei iwi, o te Rarawa, me te mahi o a ratou hoa noho tata, i roto i te Takiwa o To-kerau. APPOINTMENTS UNDER THE NEW SYSTEM, WE lay before our readers a Return shewing the number of Officers appointed in Native Districts, under the system of Governor Sir George "Grey, a large proportion of whom it will be seen are Natives who are practically acquainted with its excel-lence, and who are prepared with ourselves to recommend it to the tribes residing on the East and the West, the North and the South of New Zealand. If any of our readers consider that they have been neglected here-tofore, we may state by way of apology, that till now we have not had at our command a return from which to copy their names and offices,and even now all the Districts have not been fully organised, nor -the whole of .the appointments filled up. We need scarcely assure our friends, that to record their names and good deeds in the pages of the " Maori Messenger," is no less grati fying to us than to themselves ; and should it be found at any time, that their interests have been overlookedWHAKATURANGA I RUNGA I TE TIKANGA HOU. KA whakatakotoria nei e matou te Pukapuka whakakite i nga ingoa o nga Apiha, me ta ratou tikanga mahi i roto i nga ritenga hou kua oti te wha-katakoto ki nga Takiwa Maori. Ko te nui o nga tangata kua whakaturia nei, he Maori ; ko te mea, kua kitea e ratou te pai o taua tikanga, a, ma ratou e whakaatu atu ki te tokomaha nga tika e ahu mai ana i tera mahi-nga, ki nga tauiwi e noho ana i te Rawhiti, i te Hauauru, i te Tuaraki, i te Tonga hoki o Niu Tireni. Ki te mea, ka whakaaro nga kai korero o te nupepa kua hihipa ke i a ratou a matou whakahaerenga kupu, kihai i panuitia o ratou ingoa, me a ratou mahi, he kore pukapuka whakaatu mai ki a matou, a, i roto i tenei wa, kahore ano i oti noa nga mahi, me te whakatuturanga o nga tangata ki nga Takiwa Maori katoa. Meaha, me ki atu ki nga hoa, e ' tino hiahia aua matou kia taia iho o > ratou ingoa me a ratou mahi pai ki nga wharangi o te " Karere Maori." • Ki te pai ratou ki taua tikanga, ka i pai hoki te kai ta kia panuitia nga mahi o nga hoa ; a, ki te kitea, kua oti etahi o ratou te whakarere i enei

We here beg to observe that we cannot
undertake to find a place in the columns of
the Maori Messenger for every paper which
our Maori friends bay be disposed to write,
as many of their communications are without
any point. Let them not be displeased,
therefore, if we lake the liberty of-selecting
those passages which may be deemed in-
teresting and Instructing; and as we have
materially lessened the dimensions of this
paper, our Raglan correspondents with take
the above explanation as our excuse.

Bay of Islands tribes, to abandon the vicious ,
propensity of dram drinking which is fast
destroying them as a people, we shall feel
equally pleased to record that fact in this
journal, and to assure them too, that their
dreams will be pleasanter then than they are
at present.
MEN'S DREAM.
I dreamt that I was flying along near the
heavenly world, and looking down from the
heights I saw my husband in the world
below, so I descended, and taking him in
my arms, 1 tried to bear him upwards, but
I could not succeed. Then I was separated
from earth, and went into the heavenly
-regions, and 1 entered by the portals. I
saw two angels clothed in white i raiment at
the entrance, in 9 standing posture. I looked
near the door, and saw my daughter Eliza,
and my voice went after her saying, "Art
thou in. heaven?" And she said, " Yes."
And the voice of the two attendants, who
watched al the portals, sounded forth toward
me, saying. "Art thou come up from the
great tribulation, which cometh upon the
whole world ?" And I said, *• Yes." Then
said they to me, *' Return to earth for s
time." So I came down to our world again,
and my spirit returned unto me.
LAMENT FOR MERI.
By her Husband.
Let me indulge my grief,
Let my tears flow. down, and let me have
Sharp flinty stones to wound my flesh,
In token of my grief.
As numbers gather round the whale
Cast on the ocean shore,
So gathered they round thee.
Go, go from the assembled tribes
O Meri leaving a void:which
None may ever fill. -
The ties which bound thee to our home
Al Papakura, are for ever severed;
And yet the winds are playing still
At Piriwai, Art those seated now
On Tiria's mountain height?
Long is thy journey, for thou wilt not
Gome back to us again.

waipiro e whakamimiti nei i a ratou, me ta
ano tena ki tenei nupepa; a, Ria meinga
atu, ka ahuareka ke atu i reira o ratou
moemoea.
TE MOE A MERI.
Moe rawa iho aa e rere ana au i le takiwa
o le rangi. Ka titiro iho au ki taku tahu
marena e lu ake ana. Ka hoki iho au, ka.
mau ki taku taira, ka okookina ki aku ringa,
whakamatau noa, kihai taea. Katahi aa ka
mawehe atu ki le rangi, ka tapoko aa ki ona
kuaha. Ka kite au i nga anahera tokopua e
lu ana, me nga kakahu ma. Ka titiro au ki
te taha o te kuaha, ka kite atu au i taku
tamahine i a Raiha. Ka whai atu toku reo
ki taku tamahine, "Kei le rangi koe?" Ka
mea mai ia, "Ae." Ka what mai i konei le
reo o le hunga tokorua, nga kai Uaki o te
kuaha, " I haere mai koe i te matenga nui,
i le ao kauki?" Ka mea atu au, "Ae." Ka
mea mai raua ki au, "Haere e hoki, kiu
whai takiwa koe." Na, hoki mai ana au ki
le ao maori, hoki mai anu taku ataranga ki
uu.

Ob this anguish! it rudely tears
My heart, and there is no cessation
And while the clouds are flying onward,
And the sun is lighting up the sky,
Our canoe Tainui floats upon
The ocean wave. [die?
Ah! was it not decreed that thou shouldst
They bound thee by the spells of
Tangaroa and Ta.
PART III.
At early dawn the loved one went her way,
And when thy locks Were parted,
And thy face was marked
With Tarakawa's chisel, thy face
Was radiant, and thou wert as my weapon,
As my costly jasper ear-drop.
PART iv.
The stars are shining now;
Is it that thou may'st come to
Earth again, O loved one ?
Unsteady is my step, and feeble,
Bowed down by this bereavement,
No pleasing object meets my vision now.
Wert thou not swallowed up by death,
As suddenly as Nihi ate up men ?
Alas my house, most beautiful
Upon the mountain side—where is it now?
Ye all of you wero clustered in your home,
Your home in heaven in times of peace.
Why didst thou tear thyself from us away?
The shock has snapt asunder the
Chords of this frail heart, but
I've nought to say unto thee now,
For thou bast crossed the flood,
Crossed o'er from death to life.
WI HAU.

The cost of maintaining, clothing, and
paying these men al the rate of 401. per
head is £150,000,00') per annum. The
above will give our Native friends a slight
idea of the vast numbers inhabiting one por-
tion of the globe—Europe.
BOYS AND TOBACCO.
Indulgence in the filthy weed has utterly
ruined thousands of boys, inducing a dan-
gerous precocity, developing, softening, and
weakening the bones, and greatly injuring
the spinal marrow.
A boy who early and frequently smokes
or in any way uses; large quantities of
tobacco, never is known to make a man of
much energy of character, and generally
lacks physical and muscular, as well as
mental energy. It injures the teeth, pro-
duces a morbid condition of the throat and
lungs, compromises the stomach, and destroys
the brain and nerves—Christian Witness.
SHEEP,
The improvement in the breed of sheep
must always, and everywhere, be a matter
of public interest.
We have much satisfaction in being able
to draw attention to the remunerative nature
of the pursuit of sheep breeding, when con-
ducted with intelligence. We have before
us a memorandum of the prices realized in
Melbourne and Sydney for young New Zea-
land rams and ewes, bred by Mr. F. D.
Rich, of Moeraki, Otago, by Spanish rams
out of Mount Eden ewes. It will be seen
that the sales were part in 1861 and part in
1862. The prices for the last two lots are
much less than those of last year; but this
1s accounted for by the fact that those sold
this season were only eight months old.
The prices realized were as follows —
Memorandum of young rams and ewes
bred by Mr. F. D. Rich, of Moeraki, Otago,
and sold in the Melbourne and Sydney
markets during the years 1861 and 1862.
Melbourne, April 6th, 1861.—In the
" Argus" of that date, average price, £28
each.

the 18th, 1862), average price, £25 each.

iti nei nga hoa Maori ki nga mano whaioio

He mea nui, i nga takiwa katoa, i nga
whenua katoa te mahinga mo le momo pai o

TIMOR.
Proceeding Eastward and passing over the
islands of Lombok, Sumbava, and Flores,
following in the order here enumerated to
the Eastward of Java and Bali, we come to
the island of Timor, which from its animal
and vegetable productions and from the
different races of men by which it is. in-
habited, partakes of the nature, as well of
the South Sea Islands as of the Indian
Archipelago.
Timor is inhabited by four principal races.
The original natives, who resemble in many
respects the Eastern negroes, dwell chiefly
in the mountains of the interior, whither
they have fled for refuge. The Malays who
settled on the coasts,came from the West,
probably from Java. The Chinese have been
long established in considerable numbers in
Timor, where, as in the other islands, of the
Archipelago, they display great skill and
perseverance io traffic.
The Portuguese who in the 46th century
settled i» Timor, by their long residence in the
island add intermarriages with the Natives
produce the black Portuguese who are
chiefly to be found in the Northern portion
of the island. As the Dutch form a very
distinct variety of the European race from
the Portuguese whom they supplanted in the
island, their intimate connection with the
Malays has produced another variety differ-
ing from the Portugese blacks.— World in
Miniature.
WHANGANUI.
Some of our readers have requested us to
publish an account of the tale quarrel
between the native, Herewini, and the
European named Lister. We are unable to
accede to their request, not having been
furnished with any reliable information on
the subject; but we give an extract from a
Maori paper forwarded to us by Mr. R. W.
Woon of Whanganui, which justifies the
man Lister, and condemns the conduct of
the late Herewini, who was
Firstly, the aggressor in stealing and
killing a pig; and,
Secondly, the aggressor in sinking the
first blow with the intent to murder Lister.
The letter is addressed to certain Chiefs
at Putiki, Aramoho, &c., and bears the
signature of "Aperaniko."
The following is the paper :—
TIMOA.
Haere whaka-te-marangai ka kapea mai
nga motu o Romopoka, Humara, o Porere
ka tae atu ki Timoa, he motu ano. Na,
he lini nga mea whakatupu o te whenua, he
lini nga mea kuri, ngarara, be tini hoki nga
iwi ahua ke o ia wahi; ko tetahi wahi e
rile aua ki nga moutere o te Meana Marie
ko tetahi wahi e rile ana. ki nga Motu
Iniana.
E wha tahi nga iwi taketake ake o Timoa.
Ko nga tangata whenua o mua, e penei ana
me nga Nikoro (mangumangu) o te rawhiti.
Kei nga maunga o le manowhenua le noho-
anga o tera hunga, i whati atu ki reira ki
te wahi ora i nga hoa riri. Ko nga Marei;
kei le tahataha moana, i haere mai ratou i
le tai hauauru, i Hawa pea. Kua roa noa
atu nga Hainii e noho ana i taua motu, tini?
lini aua, a, pera ana ratou me o ratou; hoa
e noho haere ana i nga moiti Inia, e tohunga
nui ana ki te hanga mea pai, e pauaua ana
ki le hokohoko
No le tekau ma ono o nga keneturio, ka
tae ake nga Poatuki ki Timoa. Kua roa
noa iho ratou e noho ana i taua. motu kua
marena ratou ki nga tangata o reira, te
putanga, ko nga Poatuki keremangu. To
ratou nohoanga, kei te taha Tuaraki o taua
motu. E rere ke ana le Tatihi i nga iwi o
Oropi, i nga Poatuki hoki, i pehia e ratou i
taua motu; a no to ratou whakauruhanga ki
nga Marei ka puta be uri rere ke i nga Poa-
tuki keremangu.— Tawhiotanga o te Ao.
WHANGANUI.
Kua ki mai etahi o nga kai korero nu-
pepa, kia taia e matou nga tikanga o te
tatauranga a te Maori, a Herewini, rana ko
le Pakeha ko Riheta. Ekore ianei e taea,
na te mea, kahore ano be korero ata Uka
mo runga i taua be, i tae mai ki a matou;
ko le mea ia, ienei ano he kupu, he mea,
huhu mai no te pukapuka Maori, i takaia
mai ki a matou e Te Wunu R. W. o Wha-
nganui. E whakatika ana taua tuhituhi i te
Pakeha, i a Riheta, e whakake ana i le
mahi a Herewini; i ki, le
Tuatahi, nana i tahae he poaka, patua
iho;
Tuarua, nana ano le patu tuatahi, be
hiahiatanga ki le kohuru i a Riheta.
Ko taua pukapuka i tuhia atu ki nga
rangatira Maori, kei Putiki, kei Aramoho,
me era atu wahi, a, ko le ingoa o te tangata
nana taua reta, ko " Aperaniko."
