The Missionary and the Idol.


Johu NicouCt settled in the northern
island Of New Zealand about thirty years
ago. and was for many years the only
white man 10 that part Of The country in
which he lived.
The tribe among whom he resided
was called the Taiemungas, and was Gel;
.ebrated for its valor and ferocity in war.
Contiguous to them was another tribe,
The Nooranoos Cor children of the sea,
with whom the former were engaged in
almost continual strife. The Nooranoos
when pressed in battle by tie Tatemun-
gas, generally took refuge in their ca
noes. when their superior skill enabled
to hold their foes o; bay.
However, the Paheka, as Nicourt was
called by the Maories, by introducing the
weapons of civilized warfare among the
Tatemungas, gave them such an advan-
tage over their enemies, that they con.
quered the tribes on every side, depop-
ulating their villages, and taking num-
-bers captive. Owing to this, the Pahe-
ka became an object to be dreaded and
hated by foreign tribes, and he accOr-
dinghy generally kept within the bounds
Of the pah.
The village of the Tatemungas was
situated on one side of bay, which ex-
tended about thirty miles from heads to
heads. 1t occupied. the northern part Of
this bay Just within the entrance; and
on The opposite shore was the village of
the Nooranoos. This aforementioned
tribe being principally dependent on the
sea for support, worshiped gods who
we're connected with the main. Their
great deity, whose power was supposed
to be extended over the waters of the
clouds, the rivers, and the sea, was
named MauRwirrirO, and the temple de-
voted to his worship was a cave on the
sea.shore. 10 connection with this
temple occurred Nicourl's adventure,
which l will now narrate in his own
words.

brilliantly lighted with manukoo torches
around the altar it was comparatively
dark, owing, l suspect, to their super
stitious fears. knew that as soon as
they had finished their chant. they would
compel them So to do; so waited anx-
iously till the song concluded. Just as
the last peal of their voices had echoed
through the place, and they had sprung
to their feet to depart, l strestched my
arms to their widest, and, mad with
excitement, cried in voice of thunder
"Children! Maunwirrior is pleased with

ages had stood terror-stricken during
my address, but were too fearful to fly;
my last commands reused them, uttered
as they were in a voice in which despair
and excitement were blended. Ny very
excitement had saved me, making my
voice so shrill and inhuman, that they
really took il for the voice of their deity
Eager to obey the welcome commands
of a god, they all rushed from the tenn

When the cruel rod Of war
Blossoms white with righteous law,
