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.

Mechanics, when your daily toil is over, do you not hunt up the Galaxy with eager delight.
