SUCCESS,
.4nd a Nep Discorery inHe Newspaper
BUSINESS!

A most important an invaluable discovery
has been made by a gentleman of this city,
by which newspapers may be printed in their
present form, and at the same time, capable
of being converted at pleasure into a Maya
zine form, for preservation.
This grand improvement, which is destin
ed to form a new era in the business, effect
ing an entire revolution in the art of prin-
ting mammoth newspapers, will be introdu-
ced, by permission of the patentee, into the
Philadelphia Saturday Museum, omInenc
ing in May next.
In announcing to the friends of the news
paper press throughout the country, a dis
covery which will add so immensely to the
value Of newspapers, the publishers Of the
Saturday Museum, have, also, the prond
satisfaction of announcing the complete and
triumphant success of their new Family
Newspaper. The liberal patronage already
secured for this new and ~popula- enterprise,
has not only surpassed the most sanguine
expectation, but is entirely Unprecedented.
IMPROVEMENT IN ''THE MUSEUM"
"The Museum" is now so fairly and firm
iy established that we feel warranted in
making some very extensive and important
improvements. BY the first ofMay, we shall
have completed all our arrangements. We
shall have, in the first place, n beautiful, clear
and bold type-in the second, a superb
smooth and white paper-in the third place,
we shall make an ingenious & novel change
in the arrangement of the matter-in the
fourth place, we shall increase our corps of
contributors in all the various departments
Of a Family Newspaper-in the fifth place,
we have secured, at a high salary, the ser
vices Of EDGAR A. Poe, Esq., a gentleman
whose high and versatile abilities nave al
ways spoken promptly for themselves, and
who, after the first of May, will aid US in
the editorial conduct of the Journal.
The "Narratiye of Townseud's Journey
over the Rocky Mountaius," one of the most
interesting md valuable ever published, is
sent to all new subscribers. At its conclu-
sion, our readers will find themselves in pos
session of a work which alone will be worth
double the subscription to the paper. We
shall continue, also, o fcourse, the Biographi-
cal Sketches and Portraits" which are now
exciting so unexampled an interest. With
these and other features contained, and with
the improvements in contemplation, it re-
mains to be seen whether we do not amply
fulfil our determination OF making the very
best Newspaper in America.
Persons wishing TO secure six thousand
large octave pages Of useful, interesting, and
unexceptionable reading for the select fami-
sy circle, for the small sum of two Dollars

Martha, of the Bluff.
They tell me in the cities gay,
The lassies all are fair;
That at the ball, or at the play,
There's nought, but beauty there:
But let them praise, their city Belle,
Our girls are fair enough,
And. the pride of mountain, plain and dell
Is--Martha of the Bluff.
They say, their city girls can dance,
Like sylphs and fairies, light,
And in their waltzes fresh from France,
Are Godesses by night;
But care not for what they say,
Nor heed their idle stuff;
For none can equal night or day.
Sweet-Martha of the Bluff.
She's modest, cheerful, mild and kind,
And fair as rosy morn;
With gentle mien and cultur'd mind
A rose without q thorn.
Had l the world, I'd stake it all,
And think it not enough;
That none can cope in city hall,
With--Martha of the Bluff.
The city Belle, thinks she ia fair,
As tripping to the shops,
To purchase there, some borrow'd hair,
To gull poor city tops.
But, with the paint upon her face.
Her "Bustle" and her ruff,
She never can acquire the grace.

there and the cunning little gpsy had such
way of half closing the brilliant orbs, yelling

start, flashing their death-dealug rays upon you,
that yoar very heart incomtinently felt the
process of combnstion-hcr brow shaded by
her auburn hair was like hands breadth of
white cloud and the rich ustre Of a southern
snnset-her hands were fitted for nothing but
to sweep the harp's mellow chords, and to be
kissed by lover-and her feet oh, how we
adore pretty lootTtania, Queen OF Fairies,
would have given her most beautiful nut shell
chariot just to have seen that perfect feature,
we must call it.
Wei, we were in a terrible condition about
that cOusin--sometimes we'd cali her cousin,
It was so delightful to claim relationship with
such perfect creature; and then we wonldnt
call her cousin, for we laid a sort ofa trap, that
