Are there any Ruby magazines that you can pay to subscribe to? (either  
paper  
or on-line).

I don’t believe that there are currently any such magazines. A couple  
of years ago there was talk of “Red Letter: the Ruby Journal”, which  
was to be a paid subscription, PDF-only magazine. See the  
announcement here:

As I recall, this turned out to be a scam; the “publisher” collected  
a number of subscription fees and the magazine never materialized.
