 Description: THE soft, roseate haze of an autumnal sunset was just deepening into the obscurity of twilight, as a young man came forth from the door of a humble dwelling that stood in a narrow court not far from Cornhill. The air was mild, and not a breath moved the scarlet leaves of the maple that overshadowed the lowly roof of the house. There was a little yard in front between the step and the court, which was ornamented by a few shrubs and plants, and by each side of the door stoop were three or four pots of geraniums and rose-trees. These were green and fragrant, and the former were in flower, thus betraying careful nurture, while all else in the yard was feeling the first touch of autumn. The two round plats of closely shaven grass, not larger than a chaise wheel, with the circular paths around them, were strewn and filled with dead leaves, which rustled to the tread of the youth, as he passed with a quick step from the door to the latticed gate.
