AN OUTPOST.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."] SIR,—The public's first thought must naturally be given to the fighting line. I plead for a second thought, a thought for an outpost on home defence. My small unit is on guard in a redoubt very much isolated, and we want a piano to while away the winter evenings. If any ono of your readers in the county of Kent has an old but sound piano to give away, it would be gratefully received.—I am, Sir, &o., A SUB-LIEUTENANT.
