Celeste,s Farewell.


audiences ever assembled within theatre attended
Celeste's Farewell Benefit at the Bewery Theatre
At the conclusion Of the performances she delivered
the following very beautiful and touching address
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN-To stand before friends
and friends from whose hearts and hands, have
received evident and substantial tokens Of kindness
and feel assured it is for the last me-is task of no
ordinary degree of resolullon-requires no common
exercise OF tortude.
Amid the changeful chances Of existance, to meet
wreath and gratitude entwine their sweetest their
dearest and most endearng bonds ;-spll " like the
baseess fabric OF ylslon they exist put 70 be dis
soved-they are wrought but 10 be broken.
Ladies and Gentemen-On this spot though the
hand which gave me welcome here les cold IN death
ON this spot did the young adventures full OF
trembling, hope and fear first ask your favor ana pro-
tecion-but few years have passed away, ana now
upon the spot, this very spot-a grateful woman =
warmed IN the sunshineof your favor, made strong oy
your generous appreciation, and conscious OF wei
deserving from free and impartial lury-the voice or
mighty natlon-stands before you to speak her gra-
utude, and 10 say farewell.
The best and dearest wish of my heart has been to
TO feel and realize that the smile that made glad
my entrance here should leave its warmest influence
my last farewell The prayer has not been in vain,
the hope is realzed.-I see ii there feeit here-and
its remembrance will be to me sndyng and eternal
an erergreen Of the heart. Yet not forever shall be
our partng-a short time and again am the wave
i but visit the sunny wales of my father land to
turn again 10 the region of the mountain and the lake
Here! here! to make up my abiding place, in this,
the home OF my heart--ths chosen land, where
freedom is not an empty name, and liberty the only
charter for nobility
Ny dear frends-let me not fade from your remem-
brance-l let me but bear with me the strong convs-
ton that here Celeste has home in YOUR affections
and the wanderer will have no wish unqualified.
My Dear Friends-There is but one more word 10
speak-bu in that word all is comprehended-
bless America. God bless you all!-FAREwELL!!
We remember Celestes first aFpearance-we have
500
crowded into that brief space of ume. Her allusion
10 the late Mr.. Glfert was most happy. "You are
welcome to America" said he, with his peculiar look
his spectacles, and taking the young, timed and
beautiful GIRL by both hands, shaking them friend
and parent" OH are welcome to America" Now
she leaves US as the great Malbran under similar cir
cumstances, left us, to win more laures in another
cline, and contend for the prize of art, with Tagl
oni herself Celeste is greater genius than she her
self is yet aware. She is only in the beginning of
brilliant career May success always attend grace,
beauty, genius, art, and private reputation of the
purest kind.
