PAUL’S WEEKLY GALAXY
The Great Philadelphia Comic Weekly,
AND MUSEUM OF FUN
IS decidedly superior to all cotemporaries in point of
celebrity, universal popularity and genuine mirth-
provoking humorous merits; aud though it cannot boast
tlio “India Rubber Expansiveness” of the blanket
sheets, yet as “good articles generally come in small
packages,” and little people are oftfn possessed of tho
most spirit, tho Gallaxy may be presumed to be wor
thy of the attention and generous patronage of the most
discerning public. Concentration, condensation and bre
vity are the grand characteristics of this age of steam
and the Galaxy, partaking largely of these peculiarities,
condenses a large quantity of matter into the least
possible space. Thus those who may make the size of
the Galaxy an objection are short sighted, and look not
to its real intrinsic excellence. Were the Galaxy tho
size of a cellar door, we might be as dull and prosy as
numberless compilations of the present day yclept news
papers.
Look at our colums week after week. Are they not
filled with sparkling, racy, spicy, witty, and humorous
articles, in larger proportion than may be found in any
of our competitors. The choice spirits of this goodly
Quaker City, are our ever ready contributors, and we
are gratified to perceive that their efforts meet with a
generous approval.
Efferescent with the spirit of the age. stored with a
spice of good humored anecdote, every ready at a hit,
relieved by a dash of sentiment and sweet posy and ro
mance, we look upon the Galaxy as bound to become
in time, one of the leading Journals of the country.
Lovers of genuine unforced fun, wit and humor, you
cannot subscribe for a better paper than Paul’s W eek
ly Galaxy. It will assist digestion, drive away th®
gloomy hovering shadows of care, dispel the illusions of
sadness, and clear away the cobwebs of the brain.
Hypochondriacs, if you would enjoy true health and
unalloyd pleasuro, take the Galaxy. It is better than
the postrum of any cmpiricc, and promotes health by
inspiring wholesome laughter, good humor and mirth.
Throw away your bottles and pill boxes, persue the Gal
axy every week, aud you will be wiser and better m n.
Heads of Females! If you would subscribe for a
cheap and valable and popular weekly, look at the Gal
axy. It is just what you want. Its contents are inno
cent, humorous and entertaining ; and of a quiet even
ing, when sitting by your fireside, surrounded by all
you hold most dear you can enjoy the pleasentness chit
chat of the city, with a wholesome gusto that knows uo
drawback.
People of all classes —From the merchant to tho
laborer, the Galaxy is a neutral ground where you can
all meet with pleasure unalloyed with anything that
can annoy or give you pain. Merchants, as you em
erge from the shadowy gloom of your counting house—■
where can you look for an hours entertainment with
more certainty of enjoyment than in the persual of tho
Galaxy. Lovely belle as you sit in your boudoir, sur
rounded by beautiful boquets, fine books and sweet sing
ing birds, can yon look upon any of them with more de
light than you look upon the pages of the Galaxy.—
Politicians, when you grow tired of .the vexation and
trouble of political affaire, and seek a biief relaxation,
where do you look with more certainty than to th®
Galaxy. Mechanics, when your daily toil is over, do
you not hunt up the Galaxy with eager delight.
Every ycarfi subscriber to the Galaxy will be pre
sented with a copy of “The Village Somnambulist.”
a thrilling romance, by one of our most admired authors.
It will be forwarded by mail immediately on the sub
scription money being received.
