d gamboge, slightly touching the
smoke next the flame. The moon must not be tinted with colour. Much
depends on the choice of the subject, and none is so admirably adapted
to this species of effect, as the gloomy Gothic ruin, whose antique
towers and pointed turrets finely contrast their dark battlements with
the pale yet brilliant moon. The effect of rays passing through the
ruined windows, half choked with ivy; or of a fire among the clustering
pillars and broken monuments of the choir, round which are figures of
banditti, or others, whose haggard faces catch the reflecting light;
afford a peculiarity of effect not to be equaled in any other species of
painting. Internal views of cathedrals also, where windows of stained
glass are introduced, have a beautiful effect. The great point to be
attained is, a happy coincidence between the subject and the effect
produced. The fine light should not be too near the moon, as its glare
would tend to injure her pale silver light. Those parts which are not
interesting, should be kept in an undistinguishing gloom; and where the
principal light is, they should be marked with precision. Groups of
figures should be well contrasted; those in shadow crossing those that
are in light, by which means the opposition of light against shade is
effected.

TRANSPARENT PUDDING. Beat up eight eggs, put them into a stewpan, with
half a pound of sugar finely pounded, the same quantity of butter, and
some grated nutmeg. Set it on the fire, and keep it stirring till it
thickens. Then set it into a basin to cool, put a rich puff paste round
the dish, pour in the pudding, and bake it in a moderate oven. It will
cut light and clear. Candied orange and citron may be added if
approved.

TRANSPLANTING OF FLOWERS. Annuals and perennials, sown in March or
April, may be transplanted about the end of May. A showery season is
preferable, or they must frequently be watered till they have taken
root. In the summer time the evening is the proper season, and care
should be taken not to break the fibres in digging up the root.
Chinasters, columbines, marigolds, pinks, stocks, hollyhocks, mallows,
sweetwilliams, wallflowers, and various others, may be sown and
transplanted in this manner.

TRAPS. Garden traps, such as are contrived for the purpose of destroying
mice and other vermin; which are often conveyed into such places with
the straw, litter, and other matters that are made use of in them; and
which a
